    It’s more that it’s a two birds one stone kind of situation. 4k bluray players still fell expensive considering all they do is play blurays

      A bluray player can be bought for like a hundred bucks even here in Australia. They’re not expensive.

      They don’t sell because no one gives a shit about physical copies movies.

        They should though because the difference between a movie on streaming vs on bluray at what’s supposed to be the equivalent quality is just not comparable, audio being the most obvious compromise streaming services make that I always spot and I’m not even a massive audiophile and have bad tinnitus to deal with too.

          Audi is one of those areas where 99% of people can’t tell the difference between 192kb/s and FLAC, especially through.

          Same with video - most people are watching on crappy TVs from way too far of a distance, with things like motion interpolation turned on.

          There’s a very low bar for “good enough”, and above that is irrelevant. Streaming services are more than good enough for 99% of the population.
