      Ive been buying anything I really like on disc. Lots of movies I don’t really care about and can stream, but things I’ve really enjoyed I pick up on bluray.

        I still buy, rent, rip I mean watch Blu-rays. The quality is always better than streaming (even with a fully capable internet connection).

      Years ago, for a while I had an external Blu-Ray drive, but I’ve never seen an actual Blu-Ray disc in my life.

      And this is coming from a nerd that’s repaired thousands of electronic devices.

        It just looks like a DVD, with a slightly purple tint. All Blu-Rays are is DVDs with denser data encoding.

        You probably have had one or two and not known about it, most games consoles use blu-rays now as well.

          I’m very familiar with the technology, the discs indeed are a slightly different color, and the drives have an entirely separate extra lens and laser assembly to read them.

          And BTW, DVD-R is purple.
