It's 2018, stop talking about DVD dude. We are in the Blu-ray/4K Blu-ray era.
Discuss.
Those who don't think DVD's are relevant against Blu-ray...
They are both becoming irrelevant in comparison to digital.. stores are slowly dropping counts of hard disc copies of movies and digital is on a rise.. The sales between Blu-Ray and DVD are still comparable, especially when you consider a big bonus with most Blu-rays is that it often comes with a digital copy as well (and often DVD).. So yes, Blu-ray gets a good buy over DVD's..
In a standard home, there are more dvd players than blu ray capable players.. blu ray has a sweet spot when it comes to demographic but it gets lost outside of that. discs are simply becoming irrelevant. That goes the same for CD's..
walk into a target, Walmart, or any other store that sells general electronic and see how those sections are shrinking year over year.

I'm screwed then, I don't have a damn thing to play Blu-Ray on.

Hoping for a Bad Tour Yokohama DVD...maybe one day it will happen! The footage is out there, in HD!!
I have Bad Tour Yokohama on DVD, I bought it in a store in The Netherlands. The DVD is called One Night in Japan.
AlwaysThere - what makes you think a home Thriller release is 'guaranteed' or near so?
That is not official. You could have downloaded it for free. It has menus and you can burn it to DVD.I have Bad Tour Yokohama on DVD, I bought it in a store in The Netherlands.

The home release might not happen this year. They might be waiting Spike Lee to make Thriller documentary and then releasing them together.Last October, Branca said they were aiming to get Thriller 3D in theaters this Halloween. I can't imagine they'd go through the trouble of remastering the footage and converting it into 3D and not put it on iTunes/Amazon at the very least.

It's a leap to go from them intending to try to find a way to release it in cinemas for a second ye ar running, to 'practically guaranteed' home release though. Particularly when I thought Alicia had said no home release was planned. Or Branca did. I forget.
It's also nonsensical to believe that the Estate would go through the expensive process of remastering the original '83 footage to 4K resolution, cleaning up the audio, and converting it into 3D, if they only intended to give it a limited-time run in cinemas and then completely cast it aside. If Thriller 3D and/or Ghosts come out in theaters this year, it's reasonable to assume they'll be given a home release.
