The physical Blu-Ray is $25* -- then at least you own it, versus the $30 price here to "buy" but actually lease.
Absolutely ridiculous pricing across the board though.
Edit: $25 for 1080p Blu-Ray, $40 for 4k.
The worst part is that you might be better off with a pirated copy due to DRM on Blu-ray.
I mean, you can rip the Blu-Ray, but yeah, otherwise agreed.
But don't Blu-Ray players have to be "updated" via the internet to get the latest decryption keys every now and then?
What. The. Fuck?
Technically yes, though in practice it depends on the disc. And also MakeMKV rips them reliably.
No damage on bluray.
This is not how you say „Keine Schade“ (or your language’s equivalent) in English. Did you mean “No problem”?
Physical 4K bluray retails at 39.99. The physical bluray comes with a digital code as well. Currently on sale at Amazon for 29.99.
Argh. Missed that it was 4k. $25 for 1080p. My bad. Edited above.
