Libraries have Blu-rays!

Remember when Netflix would send you 3 4K blu ray discs at a time?

It doesnt have to be expensive to get a nice experience like this. I've started picking up random cheap used blurays from wherever I see them (and most of them for under like £3) and I play them on my consoles. Sure its not top of the line quality but I enjoy it more than streaming.

I have a computer.

That's all. My computer provides unlimited entertainment at zero additional cost.

Go fuck yourself, paid media.

I diitched, no problems. Also, the Charity shops, Sunday markets etc always have some amazing films for sale. I can keep these and watch as often as I like. I now also burn to a hard drive, as I have been doing the same with CDs. Feels good to own.

At $30 per title, how is this cheaper than Netflix? Are you checking them all out from the library?

How click-baity can you get? From reading the article, he was comparing the two and apparently not only has he not even cancelled Netflix, he basically says he's not sure he would ever be ready to give it up. As far as i can tell, he wrote the article basically to brag about having a Marshall appointment and kind of liking the feeling of buying the discs.

Since it's the new year, it should be known that 2026 will be the 10th anniversary of 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, the 20th anniversary of Blu-ray, and the 30th anniversary of DVD.

Maybe there will be a new physical format this year?

Didn't forget to get your movies at the library

Reduce consumption of plastic, pirate blu-ray.

I ditched Netflix for 4K Stremio with Torrentio and I'll definitely never go back.
