Comment on What's your favorite platform for buying shows and movies digitally?
c64@feddit.de 1 year agoYes, I understand that well.
It’s annoying to wait for a release and it just doesn’t come. That’s what happened to me with the last season of the Battlestar Galactica release - a German TV station had the rights to it and the box set didn’t come out for years. And since then I don’t buy series anymore, only movies.
By the way… it’s amazing how often the movie industry itself has tried to ruin collecting for me. And now the UHD disc itself is already going downhill.

What's going on with the UHD disc?
Yeah what annoys me most is when there's an HD copy I can buy digitally, but no Blu-Ray release.

Sony Pictures has announced that it will stop distributing UHD/HD/DVD discs in Germany, Austria and Switzerland because streaming is becoming increasingly important. Warner Bros. is also taking a similar approach here. Source (German News Article)
I personally interpret this as the beginning of the end. I think it’s a shame because I’m a collector. I love to look at my film shelf.
