regular DVD
Bluray

I reluctantly jumped on the bluray train years ago but now they are releasing 4k films that are of course more pricey.

I've never heard of this. What is it?

The trick is just make a digital media library.
Or subscribe to one.
I used to be all about physical media, and still am on special things I want to have no matter the internet connection.
But, digital is where it is nowadays.
You could just buy a huge hard drive and a simple computer and use your TV as your monitor and the hard drive as your media storage!

I haven't bought a physical copy of a movie in 10 years.

If I didn't have an xbox I wouldn't have any of those. I stream everything.

You should try Betamax, Larry.

Don't worry about it - just pick one that is sufficient for your needs and go with it.
Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I struggle to see a situation where someone is going to point at your Blu-Ray collection and laugh at the quality of the picture/sound. It may not be the best, but it is certainly good enough for a long time.

I prefer older movies. 95% of the ones they make today are either duplicate ideas or remakes. For this reason alone, I think blueray is more than sufficient for my collection.
The twice a year they make a new movie that is worth seeing, I will wait til it comes out on blueray/digital and buy it cheaper than it would cost for 2 to see it at the theater.

I don't watch the same movies over and over again to justify buying them. I either Netflix, Redbox, or Amazon prime my movies.
It's too bad there isn't a format for movies that's comparable to vinyl for music.

I like having physical copies of the thi vs I like. Already had a huge DVD library, every once in a while I'll pick up something (usually nostalgic or collectable) from a store like Hastings.

I go w/ DVDs because I really like special features. And I sometimes like what they put in the casing, too.
DVDs FTW!
