I must say that in the future, we may look back on these days and say that this was about the time when “you-buy-it-you-own-it-forever” kind of ended for media.

Here’s the graph for CDs:

There’s still some stuff out there, and SACDs still sell in small volume to people who want the highest fidelity, but I think that outside of some vinyl sales to the retro crowd, the audio world has mostly moved on. The video world might do the same.

They don’t even publish a lot to blu ray or dvd. I was thinking of making the switch, assuming there was all the physical media in the world available.

I’ve been surprised at how little is out there.

And so much of what is available on BluRay makes no sense. 80s comedies? Sure. Tron Legacy? (You know, dumb but pretty) nope. Go fuck yourself.
