Yet another thread about why streaming is the future

I won't quit buying physical media as you are guaranteed to have a particular film when you want to watch it, plus the whole thing about tangibility and that if straight-to-streaming films get taken off there's the chance they'll never see the light of day again. But there is a lot of benefits with streaming that I have used them more than DVDs and Blu-rays now.

It's really good for movie buffs who want to watch as many new things as possible. Even as bad as some of the original content is, there are still the generally well-regarded stuff that can be caught up on.

I even watched the first three Die Hards on Disney+ last month even though I owned them 'cause it is more convenient than having to look for them in my cluttered closet (although I did put on the unrated version for 4).

My old discs and players still work after all these years and still look quite good. I like having a pjysical copy in my hands to own.

You don't need an internet connection and/or streaming service. You can watch them anytime without worrying about them disappearing completely and/or limited availability which apply to a lot of movies. Not all movies are available on streaming.

And this is one very good point that I never hear brought up.  The thought of special features, commentaries etc. becoming a thing of the past is very upsetting to me.

Another reason to prefer physical media is that the picture quality is guaranteed. Not all of us have access to streaming that gives the best picture on a big, high def screen as compared to a blu ray or better.
