I used to not get why someone would buy a physical DVD/Bluray/CD/whatever. Well, now I get it. I’d much rather own it than “own” it.
No buffering, can rip the disc to have a digital copy, offline viewing .etc
I got tired of blu rays somehow:
Pros:
Blu-Ray is just overrated. DVD is still around and still has decent quality. The quality contrast between DVD and Blu-Ray is narrow. It's just the extra storage is there for when, whenever a movie is released, you just cram extra content into it. TV shows and anime shows have easier times for example because in the past, they'd have to release like 5 - 10 discs a season but now they can do it in one or two discs on blu-ray.
And streaming can have it's strengths but obviously the services have crippled both quality and selection for the viewer.
The quality contrast between blu ray and DVDs is massive if done properly. As I said I only encountered it two times so far and I guess this was simply a cheap money grab and taken from the DVD or even worse sources yeah. Mostly noticable if they out multiple movies onto a single disc, but with all the other stuff blu ray is way more crisp than dvd. Maybe your tv is just better in upscaling. I guess especially for animes it's easy to do so
I miss the behind the scenes footage
I mean, there's no reason it can't be bundled with shows on the streaming platforms, but they just don't
