It is very predictable yes. But the sound quality you get from a DVD or Blue Ray vs streaming is just like the comparison between CD and analog and streaming. It depends on your equipment. Careful choice of equipment and streaming sounds as good as Blue Ray and over time I suspect better. Just like audio streaming.
Best Buy Says Bye-Bye to DVDs
Best Buy announced recently they will stop selling DVDs/Blu-Rays in early 2024, so let's all give a big ho-hum. That will be my predicted response of the majority of people, and it's one they may regret down the line. Yeah, physical discs take up storage space and require another component to play them, but once you own one, it's yours to keep or do with as you wish. And I have yet to hear a streamed version of a movie that sounds as good as an actual disc. It's possible there could be a few exceptions to that statement, but I've never encountered one. I would assume that Best Buy will also stop carrying the players at some point, so any hard-core diehards may want to think about purchasing a spare before year's end.
