I do not buy movies to stream. Each Blu ray usually comes with a streaming version. I must have a couple hundred, but never watched one. What has happened to me, is that I buy less physical media simply because I have almost everything in the back catalogue I want. Gone are the days when I used...

Wow! Try Canada. Amazon.ca wants $65.00 for "Fear The Walking Dead" season 6 on Blu ray! I will be able to get it for roughly half that price in the US, if the border ever re-opens! That's why I have a US post office box. There really is no reason for this difference. An analysist once said...

We had one of those 45” back projection monsters that was capable of receiving HD. I recorded everything we watched on tape so we could ff through thecommercials. I do remember being very impressed with the leap in quality I saw when I first bought commercially made VHS tapes. Also, on a...

For me streaming is for TV shows and Movies I have no interest in ever owning. They are disposable like Kleenex. Anything more substantial that I want in my collection must be a real tangible disc that I can see and touch, not just a "right" to have access to. I would never pay money for such...

On Family Guy they go mattress shopping and pick out one. Immediately Lois takes out her phone. The clerk says “your ordering from amazon aren’t you?” She says yes. We see a drone fly by with a mattress attached to it. Hurry she says “we have to get home before it does”. They rush out the door.

The fear in Canada is that US culture will overwhelm Canadian culture. Therefore Canadian authors, music, movies etc. are protected. For instance, for every US song played on the radio, there is a percentage of Canadian artists that must be played. Because of this, the roll out of streaming...

How about taking a piece of computer paper and cutting it to be the same size as the insert. This can serve as a liner.

I do not see any problem with “eco-cases” at all. My major objection is the cardboard book like ones that have every disc just shoved into a cardboard sleeve. My Alfred Hitchcock set quickly became a giant accordion when the glue failed. I wouldn’t let them of course, but the discs would have...

I am basically indifferent to the aesthetics of cover design or the lack of a booklet that I will only read once, but I have two other complaints about packaging. 1). being cheap and flimsy (“The Omen” boxed set being the worst) and 2). Discs being stuck on a hub so tightly that you risk...

I liked the “reverse 45rpm adapter” thingy that you snapped the 3” CD into to play it.

It took me years, but I was very happy to convert my huge record collection to CD-R and bring all those LPs to the second hand record store. I was obsessively careful when handling my music, but they were still fill of clicks and pops. I can’t even tell you about some of my cassettes, which were...

Don’t forget, there was a set of the original Star Wars released on DVD with both versions included. The old version was issued as an extra and much criticized for being non-anamorphic.

The law of course as they say is an ass! Also don't forget each country has different laws. Can you imagine the public outrage over some poor person who copied his own LPs to CD, sold the records and then got a big charge!? I have always felt completely safe in doing that as long as I did not...

You obviously missed it, but collecting Beanie Babies was by no means a niche pursuit. When the new ones were scheduled to be sold, there were lines around the block.

My father would be 103 if he was alive today. He was a passionate devote of science fiction and would read whole libraries of books. I was just saying to my wife the other day that he would love the last 20 years. There are so many wonderful Sci/Fi TV shows and movies, that it is difficult to...

Ok, here goes. In the early 2000s, people amassed huge collections of little stuffed animals called Beanie Babies. There was at least two magazines devoted to collectors. Regular ones cost around $15.00 each, but there were “rare” ones — like a Lady Dy commemorative that sold for 3 figures. We...

Ahh, you have not lived through the great beanie baby crash of ‘05!

The only time I seem to see a movie on disc more than once is when I upgrade. When I replaced my tape collection with DVDs, I watched those discs, and now I am watching the Blu ray versions. I watch the ones I have just bought to make sure they are OK, and plan to re-watch the favourites later...

I have not watched commercials since I purchased our first Beta in the early 1980s, and that is why we have 4 TVs connected to 4 PVRs. Unless I can record and ff through commercials streaming services are dead to me. Occasionally we miss a favorite show and must watch it “on demand”. I record it...

I have a massive collection of CDs/DVDs/Blu rays. It would take the rest of my life to “rip them” to hard drives. I don’t mind streaming for shows that I intend to watch once on Netflix, etc. but until there is some sort of world library/data base that includes every classic movie and TV show, I...

And you don’t just play the discs because?....

How much time do people actually have to sit in front of TV? We still have a regular cable package, and with that and access to my daughters Netflix account, we have far more available than we could ever watch.

As I said before don’t panic, I still have cylinders and Edison diamond discs that play just fine!

I bought the Spider-verse 3D Blu ray from Amazon.de. They have a website in English. This is also where I purchased the Venom 3D Blu as well as Noah.

I hope they last much longer! 10 to 15 years ago, I converted my gigantic LP collection to DVD-R. So far everything is holding up fine. As I go through them, they all still play perfectly, even the ones with stick on labels. I am 68. As long as my Blu rays, DVDs, CDs, and players last at...
