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 buy them mostly second hand (there are a few reputable online shops for that over here), the price difference between DVD and BD is small (like 5 instead of 7€) But yeah, you are probably right, I remember when every parent bought a DVD player and they all threw out their VCS and just a few years later Bluray was the new thing and they just refused to do the same thing again :D these people are probably still using their dvd players from back then
