It’ll be a sad day when blu-ray dies. I don’t see any other physical media replacing it, and we have made no progress on being able to purchase digital video that we actually own.

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.

Video capture is the solution to that. You may have compromises on rip quality, but the storage medium for that file can be anything with enough capacity - HDDs, Optical Media, Tapes, Flash storage.
The scene will outlive Blu-Ray, and I think it will outlive us all.
Buy a PS5 and all your games on disc. Support the format!
