I still buy DVD and Blu-rays. Because you have a physical backup, you can watch it without Internet, and they can’t change the media. Like removing scenes or episodes.
They didn’t clarify in the article, but I assume they mean they will still sell 4K UHD discs. Those often include a Blu-ray copy as well.
I would assume they would have to keep selling them. It’s kinda hard to push the latest and greatest TV tech (and therefore TV sales) if you don’t have high bitrate media to show it off with. Streaming services aren’t giving you full UHD Bluray quality in order to save on bandwidth, so outside of piracy, physical media is your only option.
I hope they continue with 4ks.
I havnt bought a dvd or 1080p BluRay in a long time, but I’m still expanding my 4k collection
Same here
maybe you can read this article and try dvdshrink?
I hope so, I rip them to my server, then some are kept as original as possible then a high have 1080p copy for all.
Probably not. I don’t think any of those things sell well enough to be worth the shelf space.
My local supermarkets hardly stock any 4K discs at all. It was mostly just bargain bin DVDs.
The media, sure. Firmware updates to remove the key to decrypt it? Possible
