that why I suggest close for better good

I received information that speedy video outlet at mid valley is going to close at Sep 15th, that one was the bigger outlet I have visited so far, but they going to say goodbye soon...

They currently having 2 for rm55 or buy 1 free 1 blu-ray if I'm not mistaken

I do still buy Blu Rays but only on shows that I like and plan to keep.
There is still quite a big difference especially in sound quality when comparing original Blu Rays to streaming or remux/truehd torrent/rips

no! dont close this thread la... we must be the saviour for this dying format....

btw, just want to share this weird thing happened to me. being a cheapskate as i am, i only buy blu-rays towards the end of the year when the Black Friday is around the corner! so no purchases during the rest of the year.... but late last month, out of the blue, i received some refunds (around USD2+) credited into my credit card from amazon.com! when i checked in the email, it mentioned "refund – export fee reduced" from my last order way back from last november! does anyone else here experienced this same thing from amazon?

not that i complained, but if want to refund... much2 more than USD2 la...

yup, the mid-valley outlet has already closed down...

quite long time didn't buy anything from amazon.
The previous refund usually settle within a month, never that long gap.

USD2 better than nothing. could buy some BD

true bro... USD2 can be used for BF next month

btw, just discovered this: i chose amazon global expedited shipping... though price is same as international shipping, they added ‘import tax deposit’ into the invoice that’s why!! and it takes 9-10 months to refund!? tapi okla... at least i got my stuff earlier than international shipping...

I heard from some one that speedy video will close all the outlets from this year until 2020...only remain the branch in Johor state, and I have thinking it might be true since the new opening shopping mall "mid valley southkey" in jb recently have open a new store in it

oh, that's a shame.... i think they know it's immenent, physical is dying. but i still prefer physical over streaming and all that.

but hey, who needs speedy video when we can buy from online retailers which is way cheaper. price was a factor too for physicals selling in m'sia (unless the selective discounted titles offered by speedy recently). if we compare side-by-side the price of a normal movie ticket; in m'sia about RM15-18... and so does in the States USD15-16 ish, so it is close. so why the-f when a blu-ray in the US is selling between USD15-25, in m'sia price difference is like sky high at around RM79.00-100.00++???

Kinda missed the old days where you get excited when they selling titles which you really wanna dig it...! All the outlet at my location was all closed, and I haven't choose to use streaming service yet

Speedy video was the only source to touch & pick the physical media on the spot where you cannot get this kind of experience based online, although online selection was a lot wider & choices

Hmm...they should take the notice and reduce the bd price if they want to keep the business going. Anyway they have announced will start an online based business to sell their media's, but not sure when will started

instead of close down the shop, should try for online business instead.

they already have online business quite sometime ago actually... the last time i visited their website, nothing much there

here's the link to SPEEDY Online

can't help but respond to this line...

how true... the days when one of the highlights of walking thru a mall is to visit a store like speedy... BDs, DVD's, CD's LP's...

and happily pay, carry them in a bag, can't wait to go home to play them.

now, all that fun and good feel is taken away... u gotta go punch a few keys on the keyboard to order them.

time passes... tech creeps in, ways of doing things, big and small... get changed, forever...

i share the same feeling with you AVFAN. but mine goes way back 20+ years ago when DVD was in their infancy in m'sia. me getting stock not from speedy (because speedy only stock Region 3 DVDs and not so many choices ), but from those individual shops run by uncles at sg wang plaza in KL who also selling laser discs, DVD players, TVs, top-end AV equipments and stuffs it's always an exciting trip from d'sara utama to sg wang right after office knowing certain titles just being released on DVD and already arrived at the store! but at that time only can afford one title per visit! i paid between RM120-125 per title for a red hot Region 1 DVD! good old days....

certainly the excitement and fun already gone nowadays when you get to just click what title you want and all almost readily available....

I have check on their website months ago, but it seems like very limited selection, plus no updates at all from time to time

Even the outlet list some have closed quite some time ago & yet it still mentioned there

Not going to fight that...

Already packed the thousands of plastics in folders, into the cabinet.

Now, mainly soft media... the world demands it.

what I mean stop brick business and concentrate only on their online business.
their online website is so outdated.

im just starting out. can someone recommend me what movie to buy ?

All action movies. 🤗
