And VHS was also a pretty fragile format imagine a $300 investment wiped out by a single hungry fridge magnet.
Days of our lives episodes dvd series#
VHS tapes were expensive, and you could generally only fit two episodes of a series on a single tape (you could in theory go up to five or six, but there was no way to skip to a given episode without the fast-forward button and patience). In the old VHS days of television, this kind of thing was very much not cost-effective.On television, you had to deal with all the following things: There are a lot of reasons this happens, and not very many will make you feel better. Once the steam stops escaping from your ears, your first question is probably why the distributor wouldn't even bother selling copies of a work when there are so many people like you (at least according to your fan forum) who would be willing to buy one. Or worse, you can't even find who owns the rights to make a deal, or you have to deal with such a massive snarl of rightsholders that it's not worth it.Īnd if it happens to have fallen into the Public Domain? Good luck finding anyone with a high-quality enough copy that it doesn't look like you're watching the visual equivalent of braille. but whoever holds the rights to it either has no interest in doing so, or demands a ludicrous amount of money that you cannot possibly afford. Try and get the rights to rerelease it yourself if you have the means to do so? You can try. Or maybe it is actually available, just not in the original version. and even if they were, they may not be up forever. Streaming services (such as Netflix)? Digital downloads (such as iTunes)? Not there either. Or they aren't even available in your region at all. but they haven't been in print in forever, and used copies are absurdly expensive and the few that might be in your price range are almost definitely either scams or bootlegs.
Physical releases do exist after all? Snatch them up. if it were on.īuy the DVD or Blu-ray? You'd already have it on pre-order. Watch and record reruns? Of course you would. There's just one problem: It's impossible. Still, you'd love to relive the memories, and share it with your friends.
