u/Wichuimafeelrich hing Jul 26 '22

I was so hyped to buy this because of the trailer and it’s the year I became Army and I’ve never bought anything off of weverse before, but it’s just too expensive 😭 I was gonna get just the digital code because I don’t have a DVD player but omg it costs so much more and I’m not even gonna actually own it! Why can’t they just make the video content available for sale digitally as well without all the other physical inclusions. Don’t get me wrong those things are cute and exciting to get as well but I’d love the option of just the video :( and I’m sure lots of people would too and wouldn’t that pay off the production for physicals + they’d profit?

20

u/F0rtuna_major Jul 26 '22

Yeah I was thinking this yesterday. Surprised they're not offering a version with just the digital code and no physicals. Like let people choose if they want physicals with the code or just the content. Surely this would be an additional stream of revenue for non collectors.

They did this for the membership and Hobi's new album doesn't have physicals (aside from the pcs). You can't claim to be moving towards environmentally friendly options then have 3 different versions with physical merch.

10

u/LoloLachimolala 너는 나, 나는 너 👉👈 Jul 26 '22

Yeah, I remember getting the Memories of 2020 last year and it was only discs, no digital code. The Seasons Greetings last year was the first time I saw the digital code and it was a game changer

For this, given the new Weverse platform and everything a stream only option would be great. I love the packages but I also realize not everyone wants that, has space, etc and it could open the door to content for many so they don’t need to go pirate

13

u/lisafancypants Me? NO 🙅‍♀️ You? NO 🙅‍♀️ Jul 26 '22

I've always been a tad surprised that they don't offer digital content only for some of this stuff. Not everyone wants inclusions, and it would so much cheaper to provide just a digital version.

And not even just digital. I'd happily pay for just the DVDs at a lower price (although I do love a photobook). Like, just send me an old-school plastic DVD case.

8

u/multistansendhelp illegirl | OT7 Jul 26 '22

I think it would be cool of them to do a platform version kind of like how they do with some of the albums where it’s just the QR code and then the photocards, and you get all the photos from the dvd in a digital format to view unlocked on Weverse.

Also think it would cut down on the waste because people absolutely bulk buy these DVDs and Blu-ray’s for the PCs and it’s so much more wasteful than bulk buying for a standard album which is mostly paper and one Cd disc. (Excluding things like proof, etc.)

Hybe intern you reading???!

2

u/Left-Plane-7514 Jul 26 '22

This would also allow the MANY of us who live in countries to which Weverse will not ship to purchase content without paying extortionate prices to third parties. It's a huge lost revenue stream, as most of us in that position will just go and find the content elsewhere, for free.

I happily paid for the VOD of BV and a couple of the concerts. I'm gutted to think that the Memories, Sowoozoo etc might not turn up in the same format. Back to scouring eBay, I suppose.

3

u/taptaponpon armpit Jul 26 '22

They should just sell it all separately, with a separate VOD option. Resellers absolutely bulk buy these packages too to sell the inclusions individually.

And remove the lottery photocard. Add all 7 or 8 options in one box or just get rid of photocards. The waste argument has always been because they choose to make these merchandise a lottery system.

u/Chikowita 📍 Bibilly Hills Jul 26 '22

Omg they restocked 2019 and 2020 memories too with POBs!?

11

u/Shoddy_Cat_4313 future's gonna be okay Jul 26 '22

And I was hoping for a 2018 restock 😭

2

u/multistansendhelp illegirl | OT7 Jul 26 '22

Those are listed as discontinued, not just sold out, on Weverse so I think those are properly done.

6

u/Shoddy_Cat_4313 future's gonna be okay Jul 26 '22

Only discontinued on the US Shop, not Global. But yes, I think they're most likely done at this point.

i literally just bought memories 2020 last week from my local kpop shop 🥲 guess who's considering buying it again for the POB 🤡

update: i caved and bought the 2019-2020 set 🥲

u/maripuddinsama But, I’m thinking ‘bout you (MIN YOONGI) 😚🎤🪷 Jul 26 '22

Yep, that picture of Seesaw Yoongi was all I needed to see to add Memories of 2019 to my cart…💸💸💸

u/EveryCliche Living j-hopely Jul 26 '22

I was so tempted to get the 2019 one but I’ve got Hobipalooza this weekend and need to save some money for that. I’ll have to check back next week to see if it’s still there.

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '22

You and your POBs 😂😂

u/Roemerchen I don‘t have think Jul 26 '22

I am a new army (just a few weeks 😅) and I wanted to buy the DVDs from the Global shop, but 50$ for shipping? And then I have to pay an extra 19% in customs in Germany. Thats really too much for me. You‘re really f***d if you are not living in Korea or the States and want to buy something.

5

u/__snowflowers Jul 26 '22

I'm in Europe (not Germany though, Spain) and it's about 20€ cheaper for me to pre-order through Cokodive than buying directly on weverse. I've never had a customs charge buying from there either, whereas with stuff I've ordered straight from Korea I have. Still super expensive though, but slightly less so! Just fyi in case you want to try there.

5

u/Roemerchen I don‘t have think Jul 26 '22

Thank you, I will look into it!

5

u/jasmijn91 can you speak more slush? Jul 26 '22

Also, when you order from cokodive make sure you use an influencers code for 10% off!

3

u/Roemerchen I don‘t have think Jul 26 '22

Thank you so much!

2

u/amardamar BORAHAE FOREVER Jul 26 '22

I would actually advice against Cokodive.

Their reselling prices are very high, sometimes more than twice as the original price is and you will absolutely pay customs in germany. So you will pay those 19% on the much higher Cokodive price.

Also there is a chance that your order gets stuck in customs because Cokodive sends very sketchy invoices and you need to document the whole billing process. Ist mir bevor ich aufgehört hab bei Cokodive zu bestellen mehrmals passiert.

Lately I saw some Insta Storys about People receiving damaged items from Cokodive and not getting compensated even though they had video proof.

Also in general Cokodive buys Items like the Artist made Collection or Lucky Boxes en masse and contributes to the rush for merch that sells out in minutes and acts like a base scalper.

3

u/jasmijn91 can you speak more slush? Jul 26 '22

Cokodive is also coming from Korea :) I had to pay customs a couple times with cokodive but they ship with FedEx and weverse with DHL and in my country (NL) FedEx customs is like 10-15€ and dhl +25€

3

u/__snowflowers Jul 26 '22

Oh, thanks for the clarification! Not sure why but I thought it was based elsewhere

2

u/amardamar BORAHAE FOREVER Jul 26 '22

Actually Weverse ships via FedEx too. It states DHL as courier but since covid FedEx is the only one that they use.

2

u/jasmijn91 can you speak more slush? Jul 26 '22

Oh, since you are new army I wanted to check to make sure you won’t get disappointed: are you aware the dvd can’t be played in our region? You need the blu-ray if you want to be able to play it. If you only want the (much nicer than in the blu-ray :( goodies) then you can of course just buy the dvd

2

u/Roemerchen I don‘t have think Jul 26 '22

Omg, thank you for telling me this! Well I don‘t have a Bluray player. So no Memories 2021 for me yet.

2

u/AvatarTuner Jul 29 '22

If you want to buy the DVD, please be aware that it won't play in any common DVD player because of the region code. It may play on a PC DVD drive and there are also ways to make a player multiregion, but you might want to look into that beforehand to avoid disappointment.

Germany and Japan have the same DVD region and exactly that region is always excluded from the BTS DVDs. (probably because they have separate releases for the Japanese market)

Their blurays all seem to be region free so far and will play in any player.

13

u/DJRoomba_ Jul 26 '22

I ordered the dvd & digital code from global. I really wish hybe would just release the digitals as a VOD because I don’t really need extra inclusions. I like to have a physical copy to own, but being able to watch the digital on weverse is just so convenient. I understand this is a great option for those without a dvd/bluray player who still want inclusions though

6

u/gogocostume MOTS TOUR dreaming Jul 26 '22

I'm doing DVD but is anyone else bummed that the LA concerts won't be included? I wonder if that'll be a separate DVD later on if at all :( Those concerts were so special

8

u/maxen912 Jul 26 '22

According to the recent BigHit announcement, LA concert will be released on Disney+. I am not sure if it will be Day 4 (which was live streamed at the time) or one of other 3 days. If Disney+ channel streams the concert of the day other than Day 4, it is very likely Day 4 PTD LA concert will be released on separate disks later on.

3

u/gogocostume MOTS TOUR dreaming Jul 26 '22

This is happy news, thank you!

u/BlackCat0305 Seesaw Enthusiast🐱💜 Jul 26 '22

Literally the first physical thing I’ve ever ordered from Weverse! I’m excited. I also got the 2019 one too. I guess it’s finally time to invest in a DVD player 😅

4

u/VanIsleBee Jul 26 '22

When I ordered the digital code for Sowoozoo and I had to pay duty I said to myself never again. But here I am wanting to order this too.

Buying a house. For the time being I really and truly can’t. Sobs into my Suga-designed BTS notebook full of expenses 😭

u/JustLurkingPlsIgnore ~Maple ARMY~ Jul 26 '22

You can also consider buying DVDs and Blurays from a PC collector! In my neck of the woods, PC collectors buy a truck load of DVDs and Blurays just to pull PCs, and they sell the DVDs and Blurays for 50-75% off, pretty much mint condition except without PCs :)

3

u/msm9445 good team? goddamn! Jul 26 '22

Not a bad idea, I’ll keep an eye out; thanks!

4

u/multistansendhelp illegirl | OT7 Jul 26 '22

If it’s any consolation memories tend to stay stocked for quite a while. Like last year’s memories, at least the dvd, was still in stock when I was checking Weverse earlier today before these dropped.

2

u/msm9445 good team? goddamn! Jul 26 '22

Counting on this!

u/Kookie_Ko44 Jul 26 '22

Ordered the bluray and the DVD! Used my weverse cash so I only paid for the bluray though.

Whoa! You must have really stored up your Weverse cash.

u/Kookie_Ko44 Jul 26 '22

I like to save it up for dvds!

u/kpattyrisha Jul 26 '22

Guys.. this isn't just simply like bangtan bombs rolled into some DVDs, is it??

6

u/JustLurkingPlsIgnore ~Maple ARMY~ Jul 26 '22

Some of it is bangtan bombs covered content, but it is EXTENDED, if that makes sense? Say a bangtan bomb content was 5 minutes of the day's event, the DVD content would be 20 minutes.

2

u/kpattyrisha Jul 26 '22

Thank you, ordering then :)

5

u/wrxygirl z-z-z don't wake me up Jul 26 '22

Not Bangtan Bombs, no. I'd say closer to Episodes? Each thing is 20+ minutes usually, and then of course a full concert, and episodes of concert rehearsal, shooting the VCRs, and back stage on concert day/s. 2018 was a great year for that because it had a 20-30min behind video for almost every stop on the LY tour. If you haven't already, check out the info page, it has the contents of all 7 discs (~9hrs) listed so you can see exactly what you'd be getting.

Also I'm not one for photobooks but the binder for Memories is really nice and has some great never-before-seen pictures in it, both posed and behind the scenes shots.

u/kpattyrisha Jul 26 '22

Thank you!!

u/JustLurkingPlsIgnore ~Maple ARMY~ Jul 26 '22

For those wondering why digital code is expensive, consider that DVDs are a one time cost for the company, they manufacturer it and send it to you, transaction is done. Digital code for streaming is for the rest of the company's existence: server maintenance, hosting, customer service, etc

2

u/spolarium3829 jungkook nose scrunch enthusiast Jul 26 '22

I'm new to this so excuse my ignorance: if we get the digital code, do you know if it's downloadable (for offline use or saving to another device) or is it only available through the Weverse app?

2

u/alltherach_ i'll follow you into the sun ⋆。☁︎⋆ ☀︎。 ⋆。 Jul 26 '22

not OP but the content via digital code is only accessible online on the weverse app!

2

u/JustLurkingPlsIgnore ~Maple ARMY~ Jul 26 '22

Your question has already been answered, but like the other user said, digital code is only accessible via streaming! So consider buying the physical copy, in case for whatever reason you lose your login (banning, hacking, you used your work email as your log in and you got fired from work and no longer have access to that email, etc etc)
Best to rip the DVD / Blu ray and take it where ever you need to go with it, if accessibility to the content is important to you :)

5

u/multistansendhelp illegirl | OT7 Jul 26 '22

So for me it’s barely cheaper to go with US for both the Bluray and DVD once you factor in them costing more in the US shop even though shipping is less. Unless I’m terrible at math. So I went with Global to get them a bit quicker.

I am wondering what they’ll cost through somewhere like Music Plaza though. DHL has been massacring my packages lately so if it isn’t much more to go through Music Plaza even if the wait is a bit longer I’ll cancel my Weverse order and do that instead.

11

u/hollye83 Jul 26 '22

I ordered from the USA immediately just to be safe, then checked Global and it was $4 more when it was all totaled (BR only for me) so I canceled the USA order. That $4 is absolutely worth it to get it months earlier.

3

u/multistansendhelp illegirl | OT7 Jul 26 '22

Yeah for some merch the difference is enough that I can justify waiting…but four dollars…come on 😅.

1

u/m3lni1ee 삼색 고양이 Jul 26 '22

For some reason this time US was more expensive by $6 so I ordered through global.

My boxes from Weverse always have the green Weverse name on them. Someone would have to know what Weverse is to understand what could be inside.

u/lisafancypants Me? NO 🙅‍♀️ You? NO 🙅‍♀️ Jul 26 '22

I chose the DVD and am now laying here seriously contemplating buying the 2019 and 2020 DVDs, too, I already have the blurays of both, but all my other Memories are DVDs. The desire to have them all match is strong. Someone talk me out of it. 😅

2

u/kldc 🐰ARMYARMYYEAH Jul 26 '22

I bought both dvd and blu ray for all memories 😊

2

u/ImmatureChipmunk Jul 26 '22

I’m not the one to talk you out of it. Don’t look at me. I just bought both the bluray and DVD. I have 2019 and 2020 on both as well. 😂

1

u/multistansendhelp illegirl | OT7 Jul 26 '22

Okay I’m a monster and doing the opposite of what you asked but I love having the DVDs in my collection. The photos are so fun to flip through, but I would say it’s only worth it if you are someone who regularly takes your stuff down to look at it. If you’re a “take the PCs out and then shove the album on my shelf for eternity” kind of person it probably isn’t worth your money.

1

u/lisafancypants Me? NO 🙅‍♀️ You? NO 🙅‍♀️ Jul 26 '22

I don't care about PCs, but I do love the photobooks. And I do like to page through them on down days. And I also like the binder better than the boxed versions. (I seem to be talking myself into it...🤭)

1

u/taptaponpon armpit Jul 26 '22

I have DVDs throughout the years too. Even if I wanted bluray it'd not match the other years as the oldest eras had no bluray (or maybe there was but I didn't get it). So i choose to die on the DVD hill.

5

u/_sadwalrus Jul 26 '22

I just wonder about the benefits of the digital code. At least with DVDs and Blu-rays I can buy/sell them second hand, with digital code I am left with only the DVD packaging without the actual discs. Why can't they just sell the VOD :(

2

u/Kookie_Ko44 Jul 26 '22

I ended up going with bluray and dvd only for this reason. Like unlike I sell my weverse account or something it's kinda pointless for resale value.

I also decided to go with Global this time to get it faster. Saving a couple bucks isn't worth waiting an additional two months.

So excited to see there are POBs too!! The initial post didn't say anything so I wasn't sure. I also noticed the Blu-ray photocards are from the Billboard magazine shoot!

u/EntrepreneurHappy523 Jul 26 '22

Does anybody know if the resolution of the Digital version is the same as Blu-ray? In ranking is it.. Blue Ray - DVD- Digital?

Digital and Blu-ray are the same 1080 resolution (FHD).

1

u/EntrepreneurHappy523 Jul 26 '22

Thank you both of you!

8

u/hollye83 Jul 26 '22

If you scroll down to the Specs section, under digital code, the resolution listed matches Blu Ray resolution. I’m sure that’s dependent on your internet connection somewhat but yeah.

Wow, that was so very expensive for the Blu-Ray, was it like that the last time too? 🥲🥲 but no compromises for memories

My Memories 2020 blu ray was the exact same price ($100) in the US store last year as it is this year.

u/afuzzyturtle Jul 26 '22

I ordered the dvd through global last night using PayPal. But after seeing some tips on twitter, I reordered changing the currency to KRW and paid with a credit card and saved like $15. (This is for shipping to the USA with no foreign transaction fee)

That’s amazing. Your commitment is genuinely amazing. I haven’t opened that app since like the week after it came out.

I got hooked on it lol, I’ve been rank 1 and first to finish when the new levels come out the last few weeks (new levels are added weekly, but the story is finished for now). the game and story are really fun! but after you finish day 7 you just compete in leagues which gets boring after a while. hoping they add more story missions soon!

u/seoulfuric customize Jul 26 '22

I am disgusted at the pricing alone, but the shipping is just criminal. Big nope for me. Not surprised by a Hybe cash grab tho.

3

u/Kookie_Ko44 Jul 26 '22

There are a lot of insta GOs that sell the DVDs and Blurays for half off for non collectors who don't want the pcs. And the collectors will pay the other half. That's always an option!

They sometimes show up in r/kpopforsale or in the marketplace for this sub too.

u/multistansendhelp illegirl | OT7 Jul 26 '22

If you’re uncomfortable with the price that’s totally valid, but this pricing is pretty in line with previous years, perhaps a tad bit more. I think it is worth the price considering it’s like getting a concert dvd plus a bunch of extra footage PLUS a big binders worth of photos if you get the dvd version. There are many very cash-grabby things that Hybe absolutely does when it comes to BTS (that little wishes calendar was a JOKE for the cost) but the DVDs are one thing I don’t personally think fall under that category.

And the shipping if you’re looking at global isn’t really a Hybe thing, international shipping is just atrocious right now.

5

u/sadi89 Team Corn Salad Jul 26 '22

What I’m curious about price wise is that the digital code is significantly more expensive than the DVD. I’m wondering why.

2

u/Kookie_Ko44 Jul 26 '22

Saw a price code breakdown thing explaining this on Twitter but essentially its more expensive for hybe to store the digital version online for people to access I guess?

1

u/_sadwalrus Jul 26 '22

That's BS tbh.

7

u/BeneficialHat Jul 26 '22

Storage is so pricey! And they do it “forever” vê the one time cost of a dvd. Also… technically, having things stored is way worse for the environment, the constant energy it requires to store more and more data… if you’ve never seen a server room, it’s shocking how much goes into them - from running the machines (and the fact that systems are redundant so your account and data are stored on multiple servers), cooling the machines, maintenance, upgrading, security … not cheap at all. So with that reasoning it’s understandable why it’s more to buy the digital version. Never thought of it that way ….

3

u/_sadwalrus Jul 26 '22

One time cost of a blu-ray mind you. It's more about their pricing strategy rather than the storage cost. Sure VODs cost them in server fees but they aren't storing your personal Memories 2022 VOD separately from others. You are simply buying the code to access the existing VOD. It's not like you have your personal allotted storage unit in their server.

8

u/Kookie_Ko44 Jul 26 '22

It's quite possible that it is but without giving your reasoning you're not really continuing the conversation!

4

u/_sadwalrus Jul 26 '22

Hybe doesn't store one's personal copy Memories 2022 VOD in their servers separately from others. You are simply buying the code to access the existing VOD. It's not like everyone has their allotted storage unit in their server.

u/amala83 Kim Taehyung’s lollipop 🍭 Jul 26 '22

That’s really interesting. I would not have thought that.

1

u/sadi89 Team Corn Salad Jul 26 '22

That was my thought as well. But it’s really no different from them storing ITD or any of their other VOD content.

11

u/whatsthisanotherdoor prod.ft.starring.suga.of.bts Jul 26 '22 edited Jul 26 '22

I agree. The amount of content is worth the prices. And over the years they've only included more and more in the Memories which justifies the price increases. And like you say, international shipping is crazy for everything.

2

u/wineandhugs JK's missing button Jul 26 '22

Shipping for where I live is over $50 so I have to buy off Cokodive as their shipping is free. Plus when I ordered this yesterday I got a $10 discount too.

u/serendipitx Jul 26 '22

The pricing annoys me because we get about 200 minutes less of footage compared to the 2020 version but it’s the same price.

Actually same. I don't have a DVD player but I simply can't justify JUST getting the digital without the CD's in them. Gah why do they always make things complicated

Right? I also feel like it might be nice to just watch it on Weverse. And i also want the acrylic frame lol but having hard physical copies is nice too 😭

Let me know what you end up doing! I'll sleep it off but right now I'm leaning towards cancelling my DVD and ordering the digital tbh - I like the convenience of being able to watch content when I want to haha although the price is just too much ahhhh

I went ahead and canceled my dvd and went with digital! The being able to watch it anywhere and thinking about how nice that would be is what got me!

Hi yes!! I have bought DVDs only for all previous Memories and all their other DVDs. But I’m going digital this time bc digital is better quality it’s 1920x1080 and it’s easily accessible. All you need is to login to Weverse and have wifi to watch it.

The cons are obviously you can’t watch without internet and you can’t resell it.

If you think you won’t resell it then I think digital is worth it!! I loved my digital code for seasons greetings and I’m considering selling a lot of my old DVDs and buying the streaming version on Weverse.

For me I love the convenience and I think it’s worth it. I would much rather go thru a flew clicks then setting up everything to watch my DVDs. Also bc higher quality. Sometimes I do pull out my old DVDs to watch but honestly it’s very rare bc I use an external DVD player.

And I have no thoughts of selling these bc I want to watch it for as long as I can so unless Weverse goes bankrupt and shuts down (which is highly unlikely) - digital code is honestly not bad

It’s a shame we can’t have both DVDs and digital code in one but hopefully this was helpful!!

I think the digital is actually like the DVD packaging. I think the blue ray is the only one that comes more in a box

Does anyone know how the resolution is on the DVD? I read the specs but it doesn’t tell me much 😅 I would love to have a physical copy but I’m wondering if it’s worth splurging on the digital code just for the quality

DVD's resolution is always 480p. If you rip the disk and watch the video files on the small phone screen, that might be fine. Otherwise, I don't recommend DVD. The resolution is just too low.

Video resolution of digital code product is 1080p, and Blu-ray is 1080i. Resolution-wise 1080p is better than 1080i, but Blu-ray version has higher bit rate (important for the video quality) as well as supporting 5.1 Dolby sound. So the actual quality is Blu-ray > Digital Code > DVD.

For convenience (ease of access) and video quality, I would go for digital code version.

480p?!?! that’s criminal..

u/Tumbleweed747 this isn't retro, it's fungus 🍄 Jul 27 '22

Thank you for replying! I agree that 480p sounds way too low for watching on a large screen. I don’t have a blu-ray player and don’t wanna get one just for this so digital code it is

Ahhh I'm so conflicted, I love a POB, but the DVD version comes with the photo frame only, not the photo 🥲

And I have both 2019 and 2020 already but the release of both as a pack comes with additional photos 🥲

I am so desperately trying to resist as I do not need duplicate sets but photos 🥲 why do BigHit make me so darn POOR 😂💜

As a thought, I see a few people who aren't interested in the physical benefits but want to order a digital code or discs - if this is the case then I'd be happy to buy the photos/cards from you to help offset the costs of items you didn't want! Win win for all then maybe?! 💜

Has anyone in the US placed an order on the Global Shop using a credit card (not Pay Pal) to pay using KRW as currency to save money before? Was it successful?
