DVD, Blu-ray, VHS vs Netflix

Lots of the people nowadays watch films on Netflix, and don't buy DVDs. But is Netflix better than DVD and Blu-ray (and VHS, if you still have them)? Discuss.

From a technical standpoint, the picture quality, and audio of Blu ray is much better than streaming as it is uncompressed. Streaming has an advantage over DVD, and VHS though. DVD's are only 480p, while streaming can go up to 4K. I personally prefer physical copies as you technically dont' 'own' anything you watch on netflix. I enjoy having a big collection of movies.

Netflix quality is about the same as standard free-to-air viewing , but it really depends on your location's connection to the line service in your area . So you can have stutters and dropouts , if the line area service isn't good .
