Basically just the title. With DVDs getting tossed to the wind it made me wonder when will blu-rays go? I’m gonna miss bloopers and extra scenes

Edit: A bit confused but the general consensus is that in some areas BRs have already began to be phased out while in others they’re just trucking along perfectly fine. It’ll be that way until they stop being profitable to the studios who make them. Is that correct? I don’t think the 8k argument is valid imo since that’s really niche currently.

    I hate the DRM, and I haven’t bought a single one… But, the bitrate on BD’s is higher than streaming services, so its actually better for fast action scenes (where streaming services are more likely to appear blocky)

      You can stream REMUX rips if you have the bandwidth and are willing to pay for a Debrid service, and those are BluRay quality. It’s possible to stream BluRay quality, it’s just that the main players aren’t willing to offer the service since it costs them more bandwidth and most users won’t care about the difference and will complain that their shitty internet/devices can’t handle it.
