On Reddit we have r/dvdcollection, r/boutiquebluray, r/4kbluray, r/steelbook, r/vhs, etc but let's start simply with a community to cover all the forms of home video collecting.
So, do you feel nostalgic for a format? Are you looking forward to a release? Heard any exciting news? Want to show us your shelves? Then post away.

I suppose the thing is that you can't buy every film on Blu-ray, let alone 4k - I recently bought a bunch of DVDs because that was the only format they are available in. So you can set out to start a home video collection but getting stuck on any one format is going to mean you miss out.
That said, when they clearly refer to a 4k disc as a DVD, it makes my teeth itch.
Right, I wasn't saying you have to be a fundamentalist about it. I was saying seeking out DVDs exclusively in 2023 would be bizarre.
Maybe 5-10% of my collection are DVDs that have never and likely will never be released on a newer format; that's fine.
