    Physical Media might not be dead, but Physical Media in Retail Stores are accelerating the death

    Oh the old soundtrack issue... most of the time that is the main reason why so many shows are never released on home video (as most here probably already know). I haven't bothered re-watching Alias on Prime exactly because they changed the songs. Alias was in great part Alias because of its...

    Physical Media might not be dead, but Physical Media in Retail Stores are accelerating the death

    That makes the OCD in me scream. Imagine opening the box and finding out that the device is defective. No way to get it replaced. If I've learned anything about the recent lawsuits that Apple has been facing is that Apple removed DRM from music like 15 years ago, but the same hasn't happened...

    Physical Media might not be dead, but Physical Media in Retail Stores are accelerating the death

    Oh... the joy of having the doorman hand me a package that's just been delivered! And, oh... that horrible anxiety about opening the package to find out that my special edition BD boxset/magazine/book has dog ear, creases, crushed corners or some other BS due to poor handling or bad packaging...

    Physical Media might not be dead, but Physical Media in Retail Stores are accelerating the death

    Yup! So crazy how so many titles got a VHS release but never saw the day when it came to DVD and other digital formats. Unfortunately some titles will just disappear. Im curious though: what type of VHS tapes you sell? Form your collection or are you talking about blank tapes? Just like I've...

    Hmm so maybe it's the type of tape that you die 7 days after watching it.

    Some YouTubers buy them to do one of those review videos of old tech. Cross your fingers!

    Physical Media might not be dead, but Physical Media in Retail Stores are accelerating the death

    Last week NYT had an article about people that are still buying VHSs. I understand that some titles never saw a DVD release and I understand people that are nostalgic. I also understand that audiophiles and their love for vinyl and the resurgence of this niche with new releases etc. But I don't...

    What was the surprise you had after opening the generic envelope? If you tell me it was in perfect condition, I'd say you won a lil' Amazon lottery right there. These days I'm buying stuff from small stores. Much better experience. I'm just waiting for someone to set up a small online blu-ray...

    The sad part is that the special edition I mentioned is a box set. Sending a box inside an envelope is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen and I've been a heavy user of the USPS system for ages. Amazon needs to get a grip.

    I used to love ordering from Amazon. Until they started sending stuff in simple envelopes some with not even some time of padding. My GWTW 75th Anniversary set arrived with its corners damaged. Such a bad experience.
