Re: Blu-ray and DVD sales - We're number 2, but we try harder

CDs are still selling well overseas, in UK and especially in Japan.
So these days, that's where I've been importing my CDs from. Shipping costs ain't great, but much cheaper for CDs than it is for...

Re: Blu-ray and DVD sales - We're number 2, but we try harder

After so much decline, things had to bounce (dead cat-bounce (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/deadcatbounce.asp) it may be).
Was is Avatar, Mario Bros, John Wick 4?

Re: Blu-ray and DVD sales - We're number 2, but we try harder

Yeah, it's hard to say which ones come first - lack of demand, or lack of supply.
I'm sure it's a bit of both, but supply is curtailed to equal dwindling demand. I'm sure there would be a small...

Re: Blu-ray and DVD sales - We're number 2, but we try harder

Yeah, even though I hardly buy this stuff anymore, there's a couple D+ shows I'd definitely buy on blu-ray, like Andor and maybe a couple Marvel shows.

Re: Blu-ray and DVD sales - We're number 2, but we try harder

Local Best Buy near my house has literally ZERO physical media. Some games, but zero dvd/blu-ray/4Ks.
The BB by my work still has some blus and whatnot, but the section seems to shrink each time I'm...

CD sales (while still abysmal) are actually rising right now.

Re: Blu-ray and DVD sales - We're number 2, but we try harder

I buy (mostly newly released) vinyl, and my tastes aren't particularly mainstream, so even though I have a few good local record shops around 99% of my vinyl has to be bought online - that's been the...

Re: Blu-ray and DVD sales - We're number 2, but we try harder

Also, most people just don't want to "own" physical media any more.
After getting used to streaming, and the amount of content available to them, they realize they can't even keep up with new...

Re: Blu-ray and DVD sales - We're number 2, but we try harder

Yeah, if Disney put out Mandalorian on blu/4K, it would sell like crazy, but they're not, because they'd rather have people sign up for Disney+

Re: Blu-ray and DVD sales - We're number 2, but we try harder

Same. But my excuse is that I had shoved my entire collection into an upstairs closet, with the intention of going through it to keep about a quarter of it and get rid of the rest. After almost a...

Re: Blu-ray and DVD sales - We're number 2, but we try harder

Yeah, I'm a guy who used to buy multiple titles a week, then it went to a few a month. Now, this last year I've bought TWO titles, total.

about 3 months now... this is the longest I've gone without buying a single blu-ray/dvd, and I don't see buying one any time soon.

Re: Blu-ray and DVD sales - We're number 2, but we try harder

Yup. I still buy some blu-rays here and there, but it's all pretty much online, and never in stores - mostly because I don't know if they'll have it on hand, even back in the before times, when you...

Re: Blu-ray and DVD sales - We're number 2, but we try harder

LOL, I was JUST at a kid's birthday that hired BOTH Spider-man and Captain America who came out and entrained the kids. Sure it worked, but at that age, my ass would've been happy watching the '70s...

Re: Blu-ray and DVD sales - We're number 2, but we try harder

Yeah, back in the mid-'80s, I had a VHS copy of Holy Grail that I wore out because I watched it so much. I did love the movie (still do), but I mostly watched it so much because I didn't really have...

For me, no joke, it's my declining eyesight. I don't notice the details I once did.

If you adjust those figures for population, they wouldn't be much lower than the US, and Japan would be the same as US, maybe even a little higher.

"Will"? They already do feel quaint, and have for a while now! I get mocked whenever someone comes over, and my collections tidy and doesn't take up that much space.

Yeah, if someone like me is down to buying only one title every 2 or 3 months, then you know shit's bad!

They're safe as fuck after I've downloaded them on to my hard-drive, copied onto a separate thumb-drive, imported on my iPod and also burned onto a disc.

Re: Blu-ray and DVD sales - We're number 2, but we try harder

My digital MP3s beg to differ. The ones I got from amazon and iTunes are all safely tucked away on a thumb-drive, and many are burned to disc. And (unless I get disc rot, or the drives go bad), I'll...

Re: Blu-ray and DVD sales - We're number 2, but we try harder

Yeah, I think half the issue of falling CD sales is due to stores not carrying them. Sure, they stopped carrying them due to lowered sales, but their actions just accelerate it's decline even more.

Re: Blu-ray and DVD sales - We're number 2, but we try harder

Oh, I know, though I'd have to buy a ton of new hardware (my PC and hard-drives are way outdated and small/slow). But I couldn't even get through uploading all my CDs (going alphabetically, I stopped...
