r/boutiquebluray is a good place to start. criterion is doing it's yearly half off sale at barnes and noble and labels like arrow and vinegar syndrome are currently having sales. getting a 4k player and region free Blu ray player is absolutely the way to go.

Region free is so worth it. I got my latest VinSyn order the other day (and am currently wearing one of their shirts lol)

Talk dirty physical media to me!

it's soooo worth it. i got "snow white a tale of terror" and another region version of "the guest" (before i got the second sight release) and it was so handy. vinsyn is how i got "alphabet city", one of my new favorite movies!!

I can't even remember the movie I got the region free blu-ray player for, but I have a ton now, so it's obviously worth it!

I honestly recommend buying directly from Criterion. You have a smaller window to show (twenty-four hours vs. an entire month), but your purchases goes towards a $50 reward. If you are a subscriber, they also ten dollar gift cards your way that 1. don't expire and 2. are stackable.

i was about to go thru B&N since i’m a member but wait…

I have redeemed like two or three $50 rewards. I plan my purchases around the March/October flash sales. 😭
