    Personally a little sad over this. Have a bluray player and sometimes I want to be able to choose and pick a newer movie in 4k… Much cheaper than Amazon and Vudu to rent.

      Your local library would appreciate it if you go ahead and check out some movies now and then. It helps them prove that they are worth funding.

      Blu-ray also has much higher quality than streaming services.

      In fact, the only way to stream a movie in Blu-ray quality is by using something like Real Debrid, with a fast connection since the bitrate can reach ~100Mbps at times. There’s no legally licensed way to do it. Seems like a missed opportunity IMO.
