Blu-Rays sind inzwischen günstiger als Filme oder Serien digital auf Amazon Prime zu kaufen. Irre. Was wurde aus Downloads und Video-On-Demand?
Der Umsatz von Blu-Rays und DVDs hat sich in den letzten 5 Jahren halbiert, während das Streaming-Geschäft explodiert ist, und man merkt es in der Zwischenzeit auch in den Geschäften. Die Verkaufsflächen für Blu-Rays werden immer kleiner.
Ich habe schon seit Jahren keine Blu-Rays mehr gekauft, wollte mir jetzt aber meine Game of Thrones-Sammlung vervollständigen.
Dachte, dass man mittlerweile Serien und Filme auch online kaufen kann. Aber abseits von Netflix & Co. hat sich das digitale Geschäft mit Kauf-Filmen und Serien die letzten 10 Jahren kaum weiterentwickelt.
Es gibt immer noch keine Extras, kein 4K und jetzt haltet euch fest, die Digital-Version ist meistens teurer als die Blu-Ray.
Denke das ist eine verpasste Chance oder entwickelt sich alles Richtung Streaming und Abo-Modell? HBO Max ist aber in der EU immer noch nicht verfügbar.
Würdet ihr ähnlich wie auf Steam, Filme und Serien auch als Downloads kaufen, wenn sie günstig und in hoher Qualität (4K) verfügbar wären oder denkt ihr, dass Streaming a la Netflix ausreicht? Kauft ihr noch Blu-Rays oder sogar 4K Blu-Rays?

What happened to downloads and video on demand?
Sales of Blu-rays and DVDs have halved in the last 5 years, while the streaming business has exploded, and you notice it in the stores too. The retail space for Blu-Rays is getting smaller and smaller.
I haven't bought Blu-Rays in years, but now wanted to complete my Game of Thrones collection.
Thought you could buy series and movies online by now. But apart from Netflix & Co. the digital business with purchase movies and series has hardly developed the last 10 years.
There are still no extras, no 4K and now hold on, the digital version is often more expensive than the Blu-Ray.
Think this is a missed opportunity or is everything evolving towards streaming and subscription model anyway? HBO Max is still not available in the EU though.
Similar to Steam, would you buy movies and series as downloads if they were cheap and available in high quality (4K) or do you think streaming a la Netflix is enough? Do you still buy Blu-rays?

I don't buy Blu-rays and I prefer to do things digitally because it is more convenient. Just subscribe to a streaming service for a month and binge-watch everything you want. I can't replay it as much as I want but I have plenty of things on my backlog so it isn't an issue.
Ich halte auch wenig davon etwas zu besitzen, was man meistens nur einmal nutzt. Ich hatte einst Regale voller Bücher. Aber am Ende waren das auch nur Staubsammler. Es gibt nur wenig Sachen, die man mehr als einmal konsumiert.
no, I'm just watching movies on netflex and other streaming platforms.
Business for companies is much better for companies. That way they have the captive customer.
Die scheinen in allen Bereichen vom Konzept Streaming und Abo besessen zu sein (sie u a Microsoft software). Ist ja auch hoch profitabel.
Haha, ja stimmt, Trend geht eindeutig Richtung Abo statt Kauf.
Blu-Rays are starting to make more sense. If you "buy" a digital copy on Amazon it's basically an extended lease they can revoke at any time. Some items I do buy on Blu-Ray because they're great shows you can't always get on streaming.
Good point, Amazon could revoke a license at any time which is unfair, I think there should be an option to download a digital copy to your own computer so that you can own it even if it gets deleted from Amazon.
Selling Blu-rays and DVDs is hardly seen here anymore.
Es gibt Filme und Serien, die sind digital gar nicht verfügbar (oder Sauteuer).Da bin ich froh, daß ich diese auf Bluray oder noch auf DVD habe. Neue Blurays kaufe ich selten. Ich habe vom MCU das meiste und schaue, daß ich diese Komplett bekomme.
The way we've seen technology has done you a lot of good, people are now watching most of their movies on Netflix and Amazon Prime.
They are also much higher bit rate on the physical media as well, meaning a better picture and sound quality.
true, if you want the best quality you still have to buy the physical media, which is insane for 2023.
Definitely! I'll buy as downloads if they were cheap enough with some good perks. I hardly buy blu-rays, don't even see them frequently at stores. I think everything is moving towards streaming but there are still some missing parts to make it a great or preferable option.
Seit Jahren geht der Trend weg von Qualität, hin zu Quantität und Binge-Watching. Wozu Extras, wenn nach dem Ende der einen Serie schon die nächste darauf wartet, konsumiert zu werden?
Blu-Rays sind da ein Anachronismus.
But in India, amazon prime is still cheaper than DVDs and Blue-Rays? One year subscription is around INR 999.
We will always have P2P!😉
A lot of people now see movies through streaming.
It is a bit hard for you to see someone who still buys movie or disk
Yes You are right. New technologies have replaced the older ones and now we are all living in a modern and somewhat an easy age where through one click we can make contacts and shared skills etc.
