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

    Oh, trust me, I would never rely on Netflix or Hulu for classic movie or TV show streaming...thus the point of my first post. Agreed with you fully on the frequent lack of quality of Amazon's catalog content. Understandably, you guys and gals Stateside have a better choice for classic movie...

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

    Well, two things, Robert: a) I live in Japan, where classic U.S. titles are limited availability, and b) I think you're you're talking about digital downloads, not streaming services per se, re: that list of titles above. When I mentioned streaming, I was referring to services like Netflix...

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

    For me, it's simple...I like both physical media and streaming. Streaming is good for more recent movies and TV shows, and I very much appreciate being able to check out many current or recent TV shows and not have to spend any money on collecting the few I might want to own in my personal...

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

    The endless streaming-versus-physical media debate rages on. I'm of the camp that uses and enjoys both. No reason why they can't coexist. I'm all for people being able to access what they want, when they want, in the best possible quality available. I happily use Netflix, You Tube, Amazon...

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

    Up through the most recent one (season 7). I watch a lot of current TV shows (though it must be said, most of them are cable shows, or streaming on Netflix or Amazon Prime (like Stranger Things, some Marvel shows like Daredevil and The Punisher, Bosch and The Grand Tour, etc.)...and many of them...

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

    I like Game of Thrones myself, but I can see how it would not be to everyone's taste. And I can see why many classic era TV shows wouldn't be to young people's taste now, either. It would be nice to see less of a blanket consideration of everything that wasn't made within the past five years as...

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

    I think you missed my point (about a generation lacking access to shows from the 1950s -70s). Friends and Seinfeld are old shows now...I'm talking about back in the late 90s / early 2000s, when it was hard to find a pre-1980s TV show on OTA channels, and on most cable channels, unless it was the...

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

    This is a good point, and very true in my case. As a kid growing up in the 70s and early 80s, I not only watched the then-current, prime time network shows, but also a ton of classic series syndicated on local TV stations. The original Star Trek was the most notable, of course, but I saw...

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

    I'm happy to partake of streaming services for modern-era TV shows and movies, but since Netflix never seems to have any classic TV (and hardly any pre-2000 movies - at least over here), when it comes to catalog movies on Blu-Ray or DVD, or classic TV shows, I'm all about physical media. This...

    Those are always the best kind! You're seldom disappointed. ;)
