Disc market share for week ending in 2024-01-13: "Oppenheimer" continues to dominate the #1 spot. DVD, as usual, takes up over half the market share, leaving Blu-ray and UHD in the dust. (lemmy.ml)

Who the hell buys DVDs? Pretty much everybody has a 4k TV these days where DVDs look like shit. And Blu-ray players are dirt cheap too. I don't get it.

Who the hell buys DVDs?

People who want 4.7-8.5 G of data on a 0.56 oz disc

Pretty much everybody has a 4k TV these days

That can feed me unblockable ads on startup and spy on me to google? Ja!

where DVDs look like shit.

They look fine on my TV.

And Blu-ray players are dirt cheap too. I don’t get it.

Woah there, Rockefeller. I've yet to come across a new bluray player for less than €60 and all those only connect via hdmi.

Greetings fellow geezer! You are of course absolutely right. Why would one replace that trusty 20 year old CRT with some of those new fangled flat screens? VHS was the best anyway!

I'm having a hard time telling if you're serious, but ...yeah.

Why would one replace that trusty 20 year old CRT

My daily driver is 2 2 years old and they only get classicer from there.

VHS was the best anyway!

Probably why you can still buy it. 😗👉👉

Well, let's just say, I have a 65" OLED TV and I bought LotR on 4k Blu-ray, even though I already had the DVD and the Blu-ray editions.

OLED TV

Letters dreamed up by the utterly deranged.

LotR on 4k Blu-ray

Lord of the Rings was fine on paper.
