Lossless*(at least closer to bluray bitrate)streaming would be better but having encrypted download cache and being able to buffer the movie without having buffering issues mid-movie.
Comment on I ditched Netflix Premium for 4K Blu-ray, and I might never go back

Since it’s the new year, it should be known that 2026 will be the 10th anniversary of 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, the 20th anniversary of Blu-ray, and the 30th anniversary of DVD.
Maybe there will be a new physical format this year?

We don’t need another format.
With streaming taking off as much as it has I doubt there will be another physical media shift for the home market like DVD and BR was.

Yeah, but I still buy vinyls all the time because I like the artwork, extra bits and pieces to read, and other goodies included sometimes.
It’s like the top shelf stuff I get out on special days. Physical formats are just kind of like that. They’re easy, simple, curated libraries, just like a bookshelf with all your favs up there.

Is Blu-ray even at it’s peak performance? There’s probably lots of room left for activities.

Music CDs let me get unique monsters in Monster Rancher on the PS1. BR has yet to come close. There is still growth.
