I hate the DRM, and I haven't bought a single one.. But, the bitrate on BD's is higher than streaming services, so its actually better for fast action scenes (where streaming services are more likely to appear blocky)
You can stream REMUX rips if you have the bandwidth and are willing to pay for a Debrid service, and those are BluRay quality. It's possible to stream BluRay quality, it's just that the main players aren't willing to offer the service since it costs them more bandwidth and most users won't care about the difference and will complain that their shitty internet/devices can't handle it.
It's already gone. Hard copies are dead, long live the downloadable file.
It's well on its way there already. Many large stores are already choosing not to sell them (Best Buy, you suck). I will always purchase the Blu-Rays though as long as I can. I would never trust my movie collection to the studios or streaming services.
Disney has already killed theirs off in Australia. But at the same time most of their stuff is rubbish so I guess I'm not missing out on anything
Which blu rays?
Is it even possible to stream 8k video now?
I've only seen 4K REMUX streaming as the top quality option, but there's no reason why 8K streaming would be impossible. You could even set it up privately with Jellyfin.
