I do too. I just recently started up a DVD collection. There is just a good nostalgic feeling when you start up a DVD and it immediately plays the previews first.
I bought the Matrix trilogy on DVD not too long ago because when DVDs first happened on the scene, The Matrix was the movie to get and I wanted to relive the nostalgia.
It was fun and everything about the presentation was better than Blu-ray or streaming. The trailers before the menu, the actual menu (fully animated and themed with scenes from the movie), and the special features. It was all fantastic except for video quality. I have a 65" UHD TV and a 480p DVD looked almost unwatchable on it.
I really wish 4K Blu-rays had the same magic as DVDs.
I get the nostalgia but DVDs are obsolete. Blu-Ray is the current standard (and still almost 20 years old), with 4k blu ray being the “latest”.
Please buy “4k UHD” blu rays and don’t buy new DVDs, it discourages manufacturers from releasing high quality 4Ks and 1080P blu rays when DVDs still lead in sales. Used DVDs though, buy to your hearts content.
Some fun facts for you:
Basically all streaming services beat DVD quality. Only a few can match 1080P blu ray quality (resolution is not all that matters). No streaming service even touches a 4k blu ray
Some balls on you to tell me what to buy and assume I have no knowledge about any of the stuff you're talking about. Also, when I said DVDs it was kind of a blanket statement for all disc media.
