That sucks, but it's not surprising. 4K Bluray looks great but it's not as mind-blowing as the jump from VHS to DVD was, or DVD to Bluray. It's technically superior to all streaming services (if anyone knows of a legal, legit, high-bandwidth streaming service, let me know) but for 99.99% of the consumer market, streaming is good enough.
Best Buy did some mind-blowing sales late last year or early this year. You could pick up a bunch of 4K Blurays for $5 - $10. Lots of good stuff, too.
Plus a lot of the bigger shows lately are locked behind their respective streaming services. Tried to see if I could grab Blu-Rays instead for the services that only have one or two things I'm interested in but no dice.
They killed Archer Blu-ray releases after 6 seasons. Stranger Things, 2. Bojack Horseman, one. Haunting of Hill House and Good Omens only got standard HD, not 4K (at least initially, haven't checked recently).
I'm more than happy to buy media for things that I enjoy. Much more likely than I am to keep streaming subscriptions active.
Damn, I had no idea. I should keep an eye out if they do another. I don't think we even have a BluRay player in the house other than in my computer, and it'd be nice to have the option.
