Latest DVD and Blu-ray Purchases

[tmntpower1988]

I bought this off eBay today, this is the first VHS I've bought in 10 years or so. I thought the package looked nice and I wanted that mini Leo figure I still have a VHS player so I might give the video tape a watch some time. I haven't watched a VHS tape in years, I'm just feeling really nostalgic lately

I'm shocked that anyone would be producing episodes on VHS in 2003.

I remember seeing the DVD set that came with all 4 mini figures in-box...not individually.

I'm surprised they bring out on some modern movies on VHS. I don't see the point in buying modern movies on VHS, I can understand older movies or shows because it reminds us of the way we watched it during our childhood. Nostalgia is a powerful thing



I ended up buying some Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles VHS tapes from eBay too since the show was called that in Northern Ireland during my childhood That's a picture from the listing, I'm actually waiting on the VHS tapes arriving.

You mean modern movies on VHS at the time? I know some people make custom VHS covers now but not actual tapes.

Yeah they bring some modern movies out on VHS. I see them selling Alien: Romulus on VHS on eBay but it's a bit expensive. I know the Terrifier movies are out on VHS too.

I found them. They’re special edition releases. Well special format.

Ya I have no interest in VHS releases. Not even as a novelty. That’s taking 80s/90s nostalgia too far.

Despite the occasional VHS releases these days, studios stopped putting things out on VHS in 2006.

Back in 2003 near the end of it, I was at a Best Buy. Someone asked about Finding Nemo on VHS, and the associate told him that they no longer stock material on VHS. I hadn't noticed that until I heard him say that. Then I went to other stores like Circuity City, Wal-Mart, Target, and even Blockbuster. They also put an end to stocking VHS titles.

Now the stores, except for Wal-Mart, are no longer stocking any physical media.

Sometimes I'm tempted to do that, to be honest. I had replaced all of the movies I had on VHS with their DVD counterparts once I got a DVD player, and a part of me wishes I had kept them. I even still have the two VCRs that I bought back in 2002. One of them is even hooked up to my TV.

I got the 4K steelbook of Alien: Romulus.

The VHS releases are more expensive than the 4K's I'd go for the 4K release any day over VHS.

Ya and I was thinking when VCRs malfunction they’d sometimes “eat” the tape...when it gets stuck and the actual film is pulled out. If your Blu Ray/4K player breaks you’ll still have the disc.

I really have no nostalgia for VHS even though I grew up with it. I love HD and bonus material.

That happened to a few of my video tapes in the past Video tape boxes seem to get dirtier easier too than DVD cases. A bunch of my video tapes I got back in the 90's and 2000's that I left in my dad's house have mould on them.

I just bought "Bah, Humduck! A Looney Tunes Christmas" and "The Life and Adventures Of Santa Claus" from iTunes so I can watch on my Apple TV library. And why not? It was only $4.99 each.

If you already owned the DVD, you could have used the VUDU/Fandango at Home mobile service Disc-to-Digital $2 option to add the standard-def digital copy to your account, which could then link to all your other streaming accounts if linked through MoviesAnywhere.



Seriously, though, good going, and I enjoy that one. The animation looks really good.

Picked up Reservoir Dogs on 4k from Amazon's sale. The transfer is great - looks like "film" in all of the great ways that it should.

You mean the cardboard ones? The ones that came in snapping plastic cases were nice.

I do have a box of VHS movies in the closet, with cardboard slipcovers. I’d like to donate them to a second hand store or something.

A mix of both cardboard and plastic cases. I still have TV recordings of WWF Smackdown and some other PPV's on VHS which my dad recorded for me back in the 2000's I found a TV recording of the first Scream movie on VHS too

I just watched Alien Romulus the other day for the first time. Man that was a great movie - incredibly well done. Definitely going to have to pick that one up on 4k.....
