    We don’t need another format.

    With streaming taking off as much as it has I doubt there will be another physical media shift for the home market like DVD and BR was.

      Yeah, but I still buy vinyls all the time because I like the artwork, extra bits and pieces to read, and other goodies included sometimes.

      It’s like the top shelf stuff I get out on special days. Physical formats are just kind of like that. They’re easy, simple, curated libraries, just like a bookshelf with all your favs up there.

      If there were a new and less fiddly format… Being able to see my movie collection, grab one, and have it start playing while I read info about it and admire the box—or whatever it is—I’d be all for it.

      Is Blu-ray even at it’s peak performance? There’s probably lots of room left for activities.

        Music CDs let me get unique monsters in Monster Rancher on the PS1. BR has yet to come close. There is still growth.
