      Ive been buying anything I really like on disc. Lots of movies I don’t really care about and can stream, but things I’ve really enjoyed I pick up on bluray.

        I still buy, rent, rip I mean watch Blu-rays. The quality is always better than streaming (even with a fully capable internet connection).

      Years ago, for a while I had an external Blu-Ray drive, but I’ve never seen an actual Blu-Ray disc in my life.

      And this is coming from a nerd that’s repaired thousands of electronic devices.

        It just looks like a DVD, with a slightly purple tint. All Blu-Rays are is DVDs with denser data encoding.

        You probably have had one or two and not known about it, most games consoles use blu-rays now as well.

          I’m very familiar with the technology, the discs indeed are a slightly different color, and the drives have an entirely separate extra lens and laser assembly to read them.

          And BTW, DVD-R is purple.

        You worked for poor people. Every single high end media room I’ve seen (3 lol) has been powered via blue ray. People with nice TVs have known streaming is garbage for years now.

          I worked for hotel owners with their own high tech theater upstairs. They had everything, it was wicked cool!

          They had everything, except Blu-Ray. They had DVDs and streaming.
