Comment on I ditched Netflix Premium for 4K Blu-ray, and I might never go back
pwnicholson@lemmy.world 1 week agoYeah, aside from the fact that a lot of content is only available on streaming platforms, it’s hardly a comparison budget wise. Even with regular Blu-ready discs, but especially for 4k UHDs, for the equivalent of Netflix premium you can buy maybe 10-12 discs a year, tops. And that’s if you’re not terribly picky. Some of the better titles are $35-40+. I guess if you only watch one movie a month on Netflix it’s equivalent, but that’s not how most people use the service.
I’m a big proponent of physical media. I don’t like the takeover of renting media and over-compressed streaming.
But it’s not like they’re even close to equivalents.

normal blurays are cheap AF and high definition

Agreed. But the comparison was 4k vs 4k
