I’m back to buying physical media for exactly these reasons. It’s unfortunate that a lot of things aren’t getting physical media releases these days, or are still only getting dvd releases, but even for Blu-ray the quality is far superior to streaming in most cases, and 4K is even better. Since we’ve started migrating to physical media we no longer have to worry about streaming ability, losing our license to a show, or even network outages.
- 0cf8612b2e1e 3y agoDisney announced they were going to stop selling physical media in Australia. Media companies are salivating at the thought of forever controlling distribution.
- rebeccaskinner 3y agoA bit of consolation may be that It's fairly easy to get ahold of region free players these days. 4k discs aren't even region locked at all. Unfortunately I can imagine shipping might be cost prohibited for individual discs. I hope they reverse course, but as you say, I'm sure the temptation for control is irresistible.
- para_parolu 3y agoPhysical media requires space and prone to damage (not much but still) I prefer having my own digital copy
- rnd0 3y agoWhy not both? Buy the physical copy, rip it to your hd and then keep the original in storage?
