Collecting DVDs in Europe sucks ass
I just recently got back into physical media and the dvd collecting experience has been the absolute worst.
I live in Portugal and trying to get my hands on my favorite shows has been a pain in the ass, they not only stopped selling dvds for good but I also have to worry about the stupid dvd regions
Why are all the dvds that I want only avaliable for region 1?
Dvd regions are dumb, specially during a time when no one gives a fuck about dvds...
I 100% get why streaming is winning, it's not because of the price, it's not because of the convenience, it's because buying dvds/blurays or any other format feels impossible.
Adventure Time is a show I really wanted to own physically, but my only options are buying the Australian bluray from a scammer on ebay for 500$ or buying a region-free player and the American dvd which would cost basically the same.
Another one of my favorite series is regular show and I really wanted to get it on dvd, thats until I found out that for regions 2 and 4 they released every season and that for my region, that being region 2, they only bothered to release the first season, not to mention that the cover is also looks worse...
I wish I could just go to a goddamn retail store and buy the shit I want to buy, I envy the american life...
