The thing is…a lot of media will never hit physical copies.

Has anything from Apple TV+ been released on DVD?

[–] FoxBJK@midwest.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She's going to be appearing in a Disney+ show for Marvel. None of those have ever been released for purchase either (and probably never will be).

Other than Legion (that's been out for years now)?

[–] FoxBJK@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

Oh, I had no idea she was in Legion. I was talking about the upcoming show about Agatha.

Apparently, according to the article at least, she and her husband wanted to watch ~~The Sopranos~~ Top Chef season 20, they couldn't figure out how to get Hulu+Live to work, so they ended up buying the Sopranos on iTunes.

But I'm pretty sure The Sopranos had a physical release.

For a brief time I used Netflix, I was not impressed with the fluctuations of encoding/streaming quality.(yep, I know it's early days.) Fast forward to this year, I visited my friend's place to have a get together, one pick something to watch and yet with gigabit fibre internet it still looks shit and pixelated until it "catches up".

I'd buy downloads instead cause I can zoom around the show without worrying the quality.

A bunch of things from Apple TV+ actually did get put on Blu-Ray, but they're British/European discs
