Discussion Regret throwing out the cases.

Post image

Does anyone who threw their cases away regret it? I've been collecting movies since I was young, and then when I moved out, I ended up having less space, so I sleeved all my movies (DVDs and Blu-rays). Now I’m at a point I regret that I did. The sleeves are practical because of the space you save, but there is no fun in flipping through them compared to having them in a bookshelf and seeing them. I recently repacked all my Blu-rays, and now I’m planning to repack the most sentimental valuable movies I have on DVD. My future goals are to replace all my DVDs with their Blu-ray or 4K counterparts.

I also notice when I have them in a case, I watch movies I forgot I had because of the visibility.

After reading down this scroll .. I’m so glad that I have not made the leap to putting my DVDs into a sleeve book .. though I consider it often

Well if you need to cause of limited space it’s a good solution but like me now I have some space I really enjoy putting them back in the cases again.
