I recently started buying movies on Vudu. I was struggling for a long time with whether or not I wanted to collect media on physical disks or digitally.
Right now that’s what I’m doing but there’s always the looming fear of anything I buy being taken away if the service gets shut down.
I’m curious how others keep their media collections. Are you a Blu-ray or 4k UHD collector? Do you use a digital service like Vudu or something similar?
Tell me your thoughts!
Yeah your dad definitely went through a lot of work for that DVD collection! 📀
There’s something really special about that though. A labor of love I guess.
Something else too is that formats are always evolving. I feel like it would hurt a little to build a big DVD collection and then have Blu-ray and 4k come out. 🫤Of course I guess resolution-wise there’s only so far we can go before it doesn’t matter too much.
I have something like 250 DVDs that I never watch that I’ve been lugging around with me for more than a decade. The binder of them is currently in my closet on the office, collecting another tree ring esque layer of dust. IDK why but I refuse to get rid of them. Any time I think of something I want to watch that I have on DVD I just download it and add it to Plex anyway.
Yep! He was a casualty of the HDDVD vs. Bluray battle at the beginning of the hi-def disc wars. 🤣
It was definitely a labor of love and a love of organization. Something I’ve picked up as an adult.
