Greetings everyone! I have been juggling amongst XBOX / Zune Marketplace, iTunes and Amazon Instant Video for quite some time now. Compatibility and quality are a major issue for me. Although convenient at times, they are not as good as Blu-Rays. iTunes won't play on XBOX and Movies purchased from XBOX vanish without notice because their license expired. Amazon Instant Video doesn't have HD Playback for computers. Did I mention DRM (which has no workaround)? Although, Blu-Rays take up space, they provide amazing picture quality and lossless sound. So my question is are Blu-Rays worth investing? Will streaming get as better as Blu-Rays in a year or two? Also digital downloads (of inferior quality) are twice as expensive as Blu-Rays. What's up with that? Okay, thanks. |

I Pretty much think not. With streaming and downloading becoming more and more popular and better quality I believe it will be phased out. I don't think it will completely phase because there are still things you can use Blur-rays and CD's for but for the most part I wouldn't invest |

I want the best quality for the movies I like. I do understand that I don't own the movies with the physical copies. But I tend to have more control over them. |

Digital movies/streaming is becoming MUCH better with quality and soon will reach blu-ray quality. |

If I was just getting into blu-ray I would, digital downloads are lower quality at a higher price along with having no control to trade, sell, give away, lend out etc... As for space, I use binders for the cover art and use a hanging file system for the discs, it takes up hardly any space that way. I cannot see how you can lose out owning your films, players are not going anywhere anytime soon. And unless what some locations try to talk about optical media is not dead when millions of people still use it everyday. |
No answers :(
Kinda bummed out.
