How rare is this Coraline Blu-Ray?
Merry Christmas!!!! This morning I got to unwrap a 2009 Coraline Blu-Ray that we bought from a second hand store. Not only is the MENU SUUUUUPER ELABORATE but it also has some features included on the disc that just SCREAM 2009 software that I don't even think they do anymore? Check it out.
(Sorry for the bad photo quality of the screen. It says "U-Control" and something about Picture-in-picture animatic sequences and such. I'll have to check that out. )
& without the sleeve, it looks identical to a normal Coraline Blu-Ray.
Did I mention that the contents of this Blu-ray are really, really weird? Did you know you could control a Blu-Ray menu with a Playstation 3 controller? I certainly didn't. I don't own a Playstation. probably my favorite outdated interface is how you could bookmark certain scenes with the press of a button, thus creating a shortcut to said scene that you can view at any time. And if you hook up your Blu-Ray to the internet somehow, you can livestream said bookmarked scenes with your friends on something called "bd live"???? (When I selected that option it said "coming soon" and, well, it's been 13 years so I guess they've since discontinued it.)
ALSO, I found a video showcasing an almost identical menu. Apparently it's the 3D version of the movie, which is extremely rare nowadays.
Definitely an artifact of times far behind.

Sorta's CD/DVD/Blu-Ray Collection
Tons of notes under the cut
The Beatles Red and Blue albums are the 2023 remixed and expanded versions, not the 2010 remasters with practically the exact same packaging.
The Bad 25 case has been jammed since I got it in 2019, so despite it having a bonus disc inside, I've only ever been able to use the first disc. Yeah, that's nice.
I do have the slipcover on Echoes in a drawer, but not on the case because the case is kind of busted and can't fit it.
The tiny replacement case is for Running with Scissors by "Weird Al" Yankovic.
I don't actually have Rio or Surf's Up (at least not the discs anymore) but I'm using them as replacement cases for the Snow White 2001 cases, since that case wasn't in great shape. Prepare to see something like that a lot.
The Tangled DVD case has disc 1 of the Atlantis DVD due to a bad disc holder in that case (disc 2 isn't too bad though)
The copy of Iron Man on the third shelf was one I bought from a record store in 2020 that somehow didn't have the bonus Blu-Ray, but instead a DVD copy, and for some reason I didn't think to get a refund (it was the same visit actually when I got Echoes and its bad case).
I put the discs for the Steven Universe box set in those four clear cases due to how bad the sleeves were. However, I also keep the original Season 1 DVD there (which I got a couple years earlier in 2018) because the identical S1 discs in that specific box set might have been particularly ruined. (Now do you see why I want disc sleeves in box sets banned?)
I do have Angry Birds Toons S2, Vol. 1 on DVD, but due to, wait for it, another bad case, I have the disc in the Lion King 2011 Blu-Ray case, which conveniently was missing the DVD. (Same story actually for Finding Dory as I moved my Kirby's Dream Collection case into there from a bad GameStop case, although nowadays at least it's backed up through USB Loader GX.)
The Star Trek Compendium steelbook version on the 2nd shelf (which was also from that visit to that record store that I swear was way better than I'm making it out to be) was such a nightmare packaging-wise that I just ordered the case version of it.
The version of Star Trek Beyond I have is the Target 2-disc Blu-Ray, with the DVD thrown into the Snow White 2001 case.
The Cartoon Saloon box set's weird disc holders were bad (especially for Song of the Sea, which had to spend a few days after Christmas '21 in an empty Wii U case) so I have those 4 discs in a plain case.
The Arrested Development S1 DVD I bought in 2023 had a broken disc spindle, so the 3 discs are spread across an empty Minecraft Xbox case, a LEGO Star Wars Force Awakens PS4 case, and the actual case.
I also have a VERY old DVD of Batman (1989) via a Wii copy of LEGI Batman: The Videogame.
Ftr, I still haven't mentioned that I'll probably need replacement cases, for varying reasons, for Encanto, A Bug's Life, every 2018-present Pixar movie with 2 Blu-Ray discs, MCU Phase 3b (and 3a if I ever get that in 4K), Holy Grail Extraordinarily Deluxe edition, SpongeBob 100 Episodes, and especially del Toro's Pinocchio.
Tl;dr: my tastes might be a bit limited and weird and apparently making a reliable case is 100 times harder than you think. Viva La Disque!

to get the percent of my collection I want watched plus buying habits I need to watch 8 to 13 new movies from my collection a month which doesn't seem that bad at all. until i realize i've only seen 39 movies this year and only 13 from my collection.

Blurays/dvds, my beloved. They look good on a shelf and I own this movie/TV show now. Never have to worry about if it's on a streaming service or if it will be taken off. Just put it in a bluray player and bam! And special features, something so rare on streaming

In the last few months, I’ve become fixated on owning physical copies of movies, tv shows, music, and books again. I stopped buying physical copies of things several years ago because it seemed like a waste of space. Why own a disc when you could just stream it? I’m starting to see the value in owning physical copies again. Now, I wish I would have bought more movies and tv shows on disc over the years instead of relying on streaming or Amazon digital copies. A lot of the disc are out of print and unavailable. That really sucks.
