    It’s just a shame that DVDs and Blu-Rays for new movies aren’t really made anymore. They’re just leaving money on the table at this point that bootleggers in Malaysia are getting instead.

    But still, absolutely. DVD all the way. I fixed the cord I cut back in 2015 and I’m much better off for it.

      There are still DVDs and Blurays being made for new movies. Some movies are 100% digital, but in my experience they tend to be the ones that the streaming platforms produce themselves and they have an interest in keeping people on their service.

      But most other movies still get dvds and blurays made and are still sold in stores.

        Everyone seems to be telling me that there’s still new releases, but seemingly not for anything I’m interested in. The last Blu-Ray I’ve been able to pick up was WandaVision. There was a time where basically 100% of movies got physical releases and, acknowledging confirmation bias, it does feel like those times are gone.

          What are the movies that haven’t gotten releases you’ve wanted? For me anything I’ve wanted has gotten a release lately, but I don’t watch the most niche movies. So perhaps that’s my confirmation bias

      I guess it’s not technically a new movie, but I just bought the 4k blu ray rerelease of Dark City that came out this year. So there are still some new releases in the format.
