Now they even tell you they might take it away after you pay for it.
The benefit of having a good player is BD disc can often provide just as good a picture as streaming & easily way better audio.
Rarely have disc issue, last for a very long time, actually own it & I don't need monthly internet to watch them.
BTW IF I bother to upgrade to 4K UHD, I usually get them for $8 or so new or used.

And that mental calculus did not factor in square footage that a thousand or so new or used discs and shelving occupy in a home or apartment.
Imagine if our discs were paying rent! Maybe there is a way to claim them as a deduction on my taxes? That would be an epic slick deal.
Also, I have found it difficult to plug in and mount my Dolby vision speakers, amps, cords, and battery banks in cars and planes. It is at those moments I regret not spending half as much or less per disc to buy an extremely risky, revokable streaming license.

You buy all digital 4K UHD movies that are available for $3-5 each!?
Luckily I don't & the BD movies I have are already better than these digital 4K UHD ones, no need to buy anything!
You pay $3-5 each for 4K UHD to watch & listen in cars & planes why!? 🤔

Honestly, why not? You go on a plane, download a few movies to your device, and are set.
I totally get that the disc are better. One day, I might be able to have a physical collection again, but this is basically the equivalent of the bargain dvd bin at the old rental stores.
I built my original dvd collection that way, and I am building a digital one this way.
I also think the difference in quality can't be that wildly different because the 4k movies look amazing on my TV even when digital.
I use both. For movies I really enjoy, I prefer the disc that I then use to rip. You can either get rid of the disc, store it in a flat pack case (throw away the case) for storage or let it take up space. For streaming, I'm taking my chance the company will be there and that convenient access trumps having it forever even after my death.
If we truly care about "forever" ownership, we should just lobby our politicians to create laws that favor that. Any takers?

If you are implying a 1080 SDR disc is superior to a 4K HDR stream, then I have a fortress of solitude to sell you...for $2!

So pay extra for 4K UHD to watch & listen on a plane and take advantage of it how!? 🤔
A few factors play a role on PQ difference but disc is better.
Watching a movie has another half, sound.
On that aspect this is a vast drop in quality, you are kinda getting bargain dvd bin performance.
You definitely are not getting anything close to 4K UHD performance that's for sure!

Superior no, comparable very often.
A good player can upscale very well especially with a good transfer.
If you have the BD disc already, zero cost and already better especially on the audio side.
That 1080 SDR disc is hands down/no contest better than that digital UHD!
I still don't understand how UHD is advantageous in a car or plane? 🤔

I am 100% getting 4k uhd performance. The differences between disc and streaming are minimal to the normal eye.
Movies are $5. I got Criterion Seven Samurai 4k UHD for $5. You'll never get that deal out there.
