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.

Looks like Blu-ray and 4K UHD are slowly increasing from the previous week!

Surely most people have an HD television regardless of its size and people are still happy to watch DVDs?

They're cheap and people may only have DVD players even if their telly is fancy.

I have 3 DVD drives and 1 dedicated DVD player. Meanwhile I have nothing that does BluRay.
Also, DVDs get really cheap.
I don't use a TV to watch them, but a laptop. A cheap laptop. That screen barely has colors, so the resolution isn't such a problem. The only movie where it bothered me was Martian. The text size made it unreadable on 576p.
Lastly, they are small (data-wise). This means I can just copy them as ISO files onto my phone.
