"Highly profitable" Bay Street Video store n Toronto thrives
despite mainstream consumer shift.

"Located at 1172 Bay Street in Toronto at the base of a 1980s
luxury condominium tower, customers can walk into a time
machine to rent or buy their favourite movie for the weekend.
The location of the video store has been around for 40 years
and changed ownership in 1993 to Bay Street Video. Now, the
retailer is known to have the largest DVD collection in
Toronto.

"We are a very profitable store, we view ourselves as the
little store that could," says Dwayne Aylward, the Bay Street
Video store manager. "In this city, you see these types of
stores closing, and we are thriving. It really confuses people
when they find out we exist."

"Bay Street Video has close to 40,000 titles, a number you
can't find anywhere else.

"Customers can find newer movies, or you can buy an 80s classic
- there is something for everyone. Bay Street Video has the
largest collection in Toronto, and even possibly Canada says
Aylward. They offer thousands of titles in DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K
UltraHD.

"Video stores are becoming a dying industry and as streaming
services are on the rise, Bay Street Video is having a harder
time getting new releases on DVD.

"The biggest challenge is a lot of newer movies these days are
only available on streaming service," says Aylward. "People are
hearing about a movie, and we have to say that movie is only
available on Apple or Netflix. The hope is a company will get
the rights to the movie and put it out on DVD, but that is not
always the case."

This is a problem I am facing right now. Oftentimes you cannot purchase the DVD because it simply didn't get released at all.

Not that it matters much because new movies have a tendency to stink and not be worth the purchasing price anyway. However, sometimes you want to purchase a classic and you find out you can
only get it second hand as an old edition.

I still see a lot of movies and TV shows being released on DVD, and blu-ray. One thing that frustrates me though, is I've seen at least one thing released only on DVD and not blu-ray..

That is still much better than when you find only the Blu-rays in the store but
not the DVD...

At this point, I'd prefer blu-ray over DVD. Why would I want a DVD version of something if it's also available on blu-ray?

okay i looked into this and apparently fox stated that it will not release television series in blu-ray due to licensing issues with streaming platforms.

you can DOWNLOAD them from a torrent site after buying the DVD and that might be semi-fairuse legal.

you can also 'buy' the hd episodes on itunes, google play, amazon prime and vodu.

it looks like the x-files is the last series they did in blu-ray.

I never jumped on the blu-ray bandwagon and i haven't used opticaldrives in over a decade.

I don't like buying movies/TV shows on online streaming platforms. I've heard of stories where people have bought content on those services and then they'd remove whatever they bought - so you could waste your money doing that. If I buy it on DVD or blu-ray, at least I have a copy that won't suddenly disappear.

that shit is old news. dvd and bluray are done.
just download it.

all the streaming providers have some fine print that says:
"Your ability to stream or download Content may terminate if our licenses terminate, change or expire."

that's the way they are playing it now.
so do what i said. buy the content and then download it to save to home.
then you have physical copies.

the companies and service providers decided to make it this way and they weren't fought hard enough.

Too many people don't read the fine print and/or don't seem to care until it's too late.

Same here. I bought Bill & Ted Face the Music from Amazon when it came out. in hindsight, I should have just rented it. It's not like it's gone away, but now it's available to stream on Hulu and Amazon Prime, as well as available via Blu-Ray.

for a lot of stuff I'll just raise the jolly roger if I really want to watch something before it's on a streaming platform, or go to the movie theater and see it. I've got subscriptions to just about everything, so I don't feel remotely bad about it.

people need to educate themselves. i'm sure this fine print is everywhere.
torrentfreak.com is a great news site despite the weird name.

in the past a sony exec said you shouldn't backup your dvd or whatever to one copy. they said the price is so low you should just buy another.

they'll take whatever actions they feel like until they are brought into court over it. i believe the law used to be that you could make one backup copy. it could be that they lobbied some politician and now that's gone.

it's been proven that the people who 'steal' music and movies are also usually the biggest spenders for physical copies or digital downloads.

Because I don't have a blu-ray appliance and don't plan to get one?

They botched the Blu-ray release process too much at the begining and now I don't care
enough to jump ship. Certainly I don't have the motivation to upgrade my readers and
appliances of optical media, specially if I indend to watch the movies on an old
second hand TV set where the difference in quality is not going to be appreciated.

There is a difference between having been released on DVD and being readily available
in any form.

For example, the Silver Brumby series was released on DVD in a limited number of
regions and now it is hard to grab the whole series in DVD. Once you do, chances is
the DVDs won't work in your media appliances because they were released for a
different region.

In other cases it is just that the number of DVDs released from the factory is just
small. My regular online DVD (Spanish) store runs out of popular DVDs quickly and once
they are out they don't renew them - probably because they are not on distribution
channels anymore.

The Bay Street people does not seem to like Tor. Their page is not loading XD

Long story short: the standard was vague enough that you could purchase a
movie distributed as a Blu-ray and not be able to play it on a commercial
appliance the first years.

Also there was a lack of diversity of software players capable of coping
with it so if you had an old computer there was no incentive at all to take
the steps necessary to upgrade and install a Blu-Ray capable player when you
could still consume DVDs or digital downloads.
