Are Blu-Rays the new vinyl? Physical Media will be different – but better – in 2024

  Why not? Streaming isn’t for collections and with digital media purchases just being licenced long term rentals (see recent Sony fiasco) there’s def a small but viable market.

  I would buy blu-rays if it wasn’t for stupid fucking region locking which benefits no one.

    If you have a lot of money I'd recommend getting a region unlocked 4K player from 330 Electronics or whatever they're called. If you don't, I'd recommend getting an external drive for your computer and learning how to rip discs (you computer doesn't care which region your discs are in)

      Plugging some firmware hacked device from a company I know nothing about with a website from the 90s into my network doesn’t appeal to me. The computer drives have region locks too last time I checked (although you can change it a couple of times before you need to re-flash the firmware).

      Still a shit ton of hassle for playing films I own.
