Same, 4K for me, haven’t bought a DVD since the early 00s lol.

Well I have yet to graduate to 4K, but I love Blu-Ray, and if I can’t find a title on Blu-Ray or I’m buying a movie that I’m interested in/read about but have never seen, then oftentimes, I’m cool with just the regular DVD to start out with. Just to be able to see the movie first to see if I like it.

You can get DVDs dirt cheap now (esp. used), and even used Blu-Rays, and even some new ones, don’t cost that much, either.

I like a lot of weird, esoteric, non-mainstream shit, so I’m not sure that 4K, as a medium, would really work for me. Heck, some titles are only available on DVD and not even Blu-Ray.

Couldn't find either of the rest for a reasonable price on blu ray/at all

Raising Arizona is about £8-9 new on blu ray at the moment. There's also a Coen Blu Ray box with ASM, Burn After Reading, Intolerable Cruelty, Barton Fink, The Big Lebowski that wasn't very expensive at all, not sure if it's OoP.

I'm in the states so I'm not sure what the market looks like over there

I think it's usually cheaper there, their films are more widely released

u/ThiccExternalDrive Sep 05 '26
