    It sucks. Physical media has a higher bitrate than any streaming service ever conceived of. Streaming is great for random shit to watch, but it fails miserably when compared to video and audio playback from a high-quality physical media.

      Yeah from an audio/video quality standpoint we’ve taken a big step backwards with streaming. I’d rather watch an HD blu-ray movie than a 4K stream from Netflix or Max. With a semi decent multi-channel sound system the streaming offering is even more stark.

        The news article talks about the discontinuation of video physical releases, while you are correct in the sense that you can find high quality audio digitally, i am unaware of anything comparable for video.
