Hey guys, sorry I had to come here for this. I have a lot of blu-rays which I bought from Japan pre-pandemic. I am migrating overseas and I need to find a way to get rid of them before I leave. And they're not exactly the type you can leave around at your parents' house or sell on Carousell, if you know what I mean. Anybody interested or have any suggestions what I can do with them?

They're unsealed but most were not even watched. Went into a frenzy over there only to realise I didn't really need them. Keyword here is 'Japan'

seriously.. not even sure if you have a proper platform for buy and sell. In Malaysia its illegal to own and sell. If the platform is being tagged, both of buyer and seller will be in trouble. Anyway good luck on your sales but best is to offer it to your close friend.

You’re right mate. Not that I can sell at the flea market at Amcorp Mall either. This the only community I know who are very into blu-Ray locally so thought maybe some are curious.
Unfortunately my friends aren’t as hamsap as me. Lol!

I have bunch of 1080p original Blu-ray for sale. All imported from US not speedy type of Blu-ray. Looking to get rid all of them as I’m no longer interested in physical media. Buzz me if u interested. Selling 1 lump sum. Probably got 20-40 pieces can’t remember

Please list down the titles

Hey Guys, just found out some my BDs collection back surface turn into yellowish after sometime didn't play, worse is my Rambo Trilogy cannot play anymore. So Sad thought BD can last very long life.

You guys got this problem on your collection ?

Nope. Not for me. I have blu-ray disc which is more than 14 years and it's still working fine.

What about room temperature & humidity?

Some put inside cabinet and some put on big plastic container then under study table, maybe the room too warm on afternoon.

I started bought since 2009, some about that age too.

How you keep your BD collection ?

In my IKEA cabinet.

maybe is player problem.
try with other player see if still work

Too bad no other player for me test, this few days went to AEON, Shenheng hard to see bluray player anymore, maybe now only can buy from online. Thinking of buy 1 for spare since my 11 yrs old Sony 370 a bit cacat now.

If your area got Harvey Norman, Harvey Norman still selling. If don't have blu-ray player, you can get 4K UHD blu-ray player as it is backward compatible and it actually pick up reading the disc real fast compare with normal blu-ray player.

The 2nd disc looks obvious gone case, I don't think it able to playback anymore.

Optical Disc is not last forever especially if the place you store is too warm.

I had one original DVD (not Blu-ray or 4K Blu-ray) which the entire surface is missing, I not sure it missing to where, it became 100% transparent. 😅 I am shocking when I take out and want to play it after don't know how long I never touch it as I didn't touch DVD since appear of Blu-ray.

haha... it's nice to be back here after being nearly two years absent! just checking-in to see if this forum is still alive. oh well it still does!

just curious what are the patterns of all of us here on whether we're still actively collecting physical media like before; since nowadays becoming very2 slow aka too many streaming services (which in ways are good), shipping fees have changed at amazon to some degree post-pandemic (bad when there's no more standard shipping hence becoming more expensive with global expedited mode being the cheapest option, but good when it becomes faster in terms of delivery durations) and our ringgit being very weak especially now and soon inflation is forthcoming!

are you guys still actively buying at amazon.... or if there are other places (websites) with better prices and as reliable as amazon's? for me, i'm in a bit of financial crisis especially after pandemic... and will only buy if prices are really worth the while like during black friday sales (not sure if this year's will still be good, last year's and the one before were meh... ) would appreaciate anyone's thoughts on this.

btw, i still love physical media and quite jealous when i see collectors in the states go blu-rays and 4ks hunting on their respective youtube channels weekly...

For me, my last BF sale was back in 2019 and ever since the pandemic + changes in media consumption, I'm leaning towards digital media now.

But once in a while, I'll still pop in a Blu-ray for the unrivalled A/V experience in comparison to streaming ❤️

All my blu-ray is for decoration now. 🤣 I never touch for it like 3 to 4 years already as I already transfer all to digital format and dump inside Plex.

Occasionally will buy one or two but once buy it is inside Plex and the actual physical disc is again put for decoration. 😂

absolutely agree with you there... the prices, our budgets, shipping fee increments, weak currency etc have turned me off a bit on the purchases of physicals, and we don't even have any brick & mortar stores here in m'sia to go to for options (speedy being the last store to closed down; wished we have walmart, target or best buys here... well, not that our stores here before offer anything like from the US ) and with the digital media / streaming... absolutely can't match the quality of stand-alone AV from physicals

as for me too, i'll pop in my blu-ray once in a while for the supplementaries / behind the scenes stuff as our streaming services here don't offer some of those like in the US... except only on youtube

owh that's interesting... what is plex? i've googled it, isn't it something like an online streaming / digital service too? how does it work bro? you mean you uploaded your digital files from your physical medias there and you made it something like a netflix but with your own collection? i'm intrigued...

Plex mainly is a database platform to store all your local film / song and you can multi platform playback at your PC, Mac, Smart TV (So far it is support by all famous branded like Samsung, LG, Panasonic, Sony and etc), TV Box (Android TV, Google TV, Apple TV), Mobile and etc.

The online streaming part is new features from Plex which show mostly B class firm or independance film and also plenty of free live-TV channel.

Not upload but hosting yourself, you can make it public so you can stream back at others places or make it locally only.

Then you will have a very nice interface to browse the content (you can use the default select cover, background or use your own one).

Example of the interface

TV/TV Box Interface / HTPC Interface


PC Interface (for organize your Film Database)
