Yep, even VHS too. I like having the physical media, and it may sound strange but I'm a huge fan of DVD menus especially the more creative ones.

I could have a collection somewhere in The Mansion. But mostly, streaming for me.

Excluding physical video game discs or using DVD discs for data storage, I haven't owned a DVD since the mid 00's (though did occasionally rent them a bit later than that), and have never owned a blu-ray.

Also never owned a dedicated DVD player. Always used a laptop or a console for it.

You don't have any consoles?

I've always just had Nintendo and PC. I built my last PC so I didn't bother putting in a disc drive. I was too broke and busy for a PS4 for most of it's life and now I can't find a PS5 for market cost.

Same. It was the box set with the extra DVDs for the special features. Only it was missing the disc for Aliens. I was able to find the solo DVD box for Aliens for like a dollar.

I'll usually only buy a dvd if it has good special features.

I have a fairly small collection of blu ray, but it's only stuff I know I'll watch again. I have all the SW, LotR and MCU stuff on blu ray, and some other random stuff like Scott Pilgrim and District 9.

DVDs were just the dominant format for longer but I agree. I rarely see Blurays at a thrift. Give it a couple years, they'll start to surface.

The condition of buying anything second-hand is usually dubious though. I can't tell you how many times I found something scratched in the case, if there was a disc in the case at all.

I impulse buy those movie collections you see at Walmart or Target, the ones that are like $10 for 3-4 movies. And that's only if I see a couple favorites that aren't on streaming sites. Other than that, I don't recall the last time I purchased a DVD or Blu-ray.

Started buying them now that I have a blu ray player and it only took 10+ years

I'm basically only buying my favorite movies/shows on blu ray so its going to be a small collection

Yes. I've always been buying them and redeeming the digital copies.

After the Walmart/Vudu fiasco and the whole PS3/Wii shutdowns, digital has made me extremely wary. If it's dirt cheap or free, sure. Otherwise, fuck digital.
