You all remember just a few weeks ago when Sony ripped away a bunch of movies and TV shows people “owned”? This ad is on Amazon. You can’t “own” it on Prime. You can just access it until they lose the license. How can they get away with lying like this?

Yep. I still like owning Blu-ray’s for this reason. When I tell people I have a Blu-ray collection they make fun of me.

1080p video streams are also much more compressed than BD. I can't always tell, but when I can it's because there are distracting artifacts on the stream.

Do they at least come with cool bonus features?

Head by the dollar store sometime, Blu-Rays on crazy discount these days.

Clearly they don't own a nuclear bunker

Telling you have CDs collection of music is giving even more weird reactions.
