I own quite a few blu-rays, mostly movies where compression artifacts on streaming versions are very noticeable. I'd get them for more movies, but I don't have infinite shelf space, nor do I want to transform my living room walls into disc storage like some of my movie buff friends did in the DVD era. Filing cabinets could work, I suppose. But the point is, streaming a purchased or pirated copy is just simpler and better, and for 90% of movies the compression doesn't impact the experience. With all due respect to Nolan's work on the home release, I'm pretty sure Oppenheimer will be in the 90%. For the remaining 10% I'd love if iTunes and the other digital movie storefronts offered a "hifi" quality download with bitrate on par with blu-ray. I know Sony has something like that for their TVs, but I mean something really available cross platform through Movies Anywhere or similar. The difficulty studios have making money on digital movies really seems self-inflicted in some ways, plenty of people out there would be converted from buying blu-rays if the price and quality of downloads improved just a bit.
