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.

The state of movies on physical media in Sweden is now that all major electronics retailers have dropped it. They used to have a pick 2 for 10 type basket over by the video games but thats gone. The really big grocery stores sometimes has a shelf with 5 or 6 of the latest releases usually only stocked with dvd and bluray. I basically have to go to second hand stores to browse physical media. So I order all new releases online. Don’t let this sad state of affairs happen to you!

"will now stock" more like have a corner shelf with 20 different movies. Better than nothing I guess.

I used to be able to get video games at the movie rental place, now I can get movies at the video game store.

It's... The circle of life...

Fred Meyer used to have a whole section dedicated to it. But their prices were always the worst. Great news is a bit of an overstatement.

The two stores are GameStop and Fred Meyer.

I honestly thought you were joking at first lmao. I would've never expected gamestop to carry Blu rays, but I guess it makes sense.

What, you don’t want to drive 5 miles to a shitty mall to overpay $10 for a half-assed AI upscale of Spy Kids?
