I figure there's people coming to this sub looking for it, so here's my two cents, and of course feel free to add your own:

**You only really need to pay full price for a DVD or Blu-Ray if it's something new or you can't find it anywhere else. Otherwise, thrift stores and eBay are you friends. Flea markets are nice too, just be sure to check the inside of anything you buy, as on more than one occasion I've been ripped off, the wrong disk in a case, disks missing entirely, lots of problems can come up with buying used, but you can't really beat the price (A place half a mile from my home has them as cheap as 2/$1!).

**Get a good shelf. Any decent shelf will do, and thrift stores usually have a few for cheap.

**Don't be afraid to have some diversity in your collection. I'm mostly into cartoons and horror movies, but I also have some Westerns, comedies, it really helps to have options so you're not just stuck watching the same stuff forever.

**This is of course super obvious, but a good media player is key. I've a Sony Playation 4 myself, but anything that plays disks will work fine, and again, no need to spend a lot on one, as thrift shops usually have one or two.

For me personally, it was watching Jacksepticeye's playthrough of it. Looked like so much fun, and I had a Switch I wasn't playing anyway, so I traded that in, along with some other stuff, got enough to get a PS4 and the rest is history.
