That said, this is awful they're removing because even if people prefer digital/streaming for convenience, BD/DVD still have better quality and more reliable.
Digital purchases can end up disappearing / unplayable and that's what people tend to forget until it happens to them. With digital, you don't own anything (if it's DRM'd).
Until you get a loud knock on your door…This is a piracy forum lol. Who here actually pays for any media?
There are plenty of way to get 4K 10bit 7.2 content that never expires and can't be taken away from you.
Easy way to get all movies and TV series one cares for. Way cheaper than stupid streaming services. Anybody willing to dump DVDs/BDs profits from the smug "We have left this behind" attitude.Seems to be the way of the world. Various charity shops had 10 DVDs for £1 with most blu rays not far behind. Very rarely see them sold at car boot sales despite many people offering them/having boxes there.
I don't even have any BD player. I just dump the discs to HDD and forget about any problems. I tried to watch a BD once with the PowerDVD software that came with the BD drive.To be honest, I've not bought Blu-rays and the reason being was Sony's stubbornness not allowing me to watch the movies I bought without updating the damn firmware!

This year people started trying to sell DVDs/BDs for 1€ or 50cent a piece around here, but there is a tendency to offer boxes with 40+ DVDs for low prices. Hopefully I can blindly stock up on old movies next year.
As for the new streaming exclusive things obviously existing nowadays: I've yet to hear from anything I would be willing to watch for free. Up to now what I noticed was more the kind of "Pay me for damages if I have to watch this."

Black screen. No error message.
So much for watching my original discs the way intended.
A disc case holder would do the job.No cases... how am I going to store them? And they will likely degrade in quality if some of them aren't already broken
