I FEEL COMPELLED TO POINT OUT IT'S "BLU-RAY." NOEMOJI
shareBig deal. Who still buys DVD's or Blu Ray anymore in the age of streaming?
shareHard copies are the best. Hands down.
shareYou do realize its cheaper to get HBO for a month and DVR it. Or do what I do. The day the movie is on, order that channels service for the month. DVR it. Then the next day, call your cable company and tell them you accidently ordered it as a mistake and they will take it off your package and issue you a refund
shareNo thanks. I stream everything for free. And if I like it I'll buy a hard copy so that I can have commentary, deleted scenes, behind the scenes interviews, making of docs, and the slow mo and frame by frame option. Streaming actually kind of sucks.
ETA: My reply was for your original reply of "You do realize its cheaper to get HBO for a month and DVR it."
But it still stands.
You can watch all those commentary, deleted scenes, etc on youtube. And this movie is also on regular HBO and not their streaming service
shareAgain, no thanks.
And I don't need to order any channels at all because I stream what I want to watch for free anyway.
Streaming sucks compared to hard copies.
So go ahead and buy the DVD. In a few months, it will probably have scratches on it and won't work
shareLOL. I've had DVDs for years and they still work after all this time. It's called: Taking care of the things you own.
Also, Blu-Ray discs have improved scratch resistance and you have to really be trying to fuck them up to damage them.
TRUTH!^
shareI let my cat play with a few of them and they no longer work. So I stopped buying DVDs
shareNot a good idea to leave your media consumption up to the whims of modern streaming companies that will simply delete an episode here and there because they feel it's "problematic".
shareI do, and I buy them in 4K multi-format. You are spot-on that all of the extras have been diluted (besides the voice commentary) and are really no longer worth the purchase price.
I have a nice sound system (Bose) and a nice HD TV and enjoy my setup for watching big action movies at home.
While it's true that a lot of discs are very weak when it comes to special features, there are still occasional releases that go above and beyond.
Sadly, I think that studios have largely concluded that an abundance of special features is not a big driver for sales.
Granted I am a lot more selective as to the media that I purchase, notwithstanding my collection addition addiction condition. (CAAC).
Studios are really less diligent and deliberate in creating media unique content in the age of streaming.

I do, absolutely. I've bought several movies on 4K Blu-Ray, Blu-Ray and DVD just over the past few weeks.
If you want:
1. The best image quality
2. The greatest amount of special features (or often any special features at all)
3. To actually own your movies and be sure you always have access to them
Then you need to be continuing to support physical media.
👍👍Totally agree!
shareDVR it off HBO and watch the special features on youtube
shareIf you DVR it, do you actually own it? And what of the people who don't have HBO?
Do you think that you can find every special feature from the disc for any movie on YouTube? I assure you that you can't.
As long as you keep your cable company, you own what you DVR. If you don't have HBO, then order it the day the movie is on. DVR it. Then call your cable company and cancel the HBO subscription. Tell them it was an error. They will issue you a refund, meanwhile you have the movie on DVR
