That's welcome news, I've pretty much stopped buying from Amazon now for both discs and books, I've moved my pre-orders to HMV and I try to buy in store as much as possible. HMV is going from strength to strength after their administration scare a few years back.

Blu rays will go the same way as betamax,vhs,Dvd and HD. The companies are going for streaming bigtime (as that is the latest fad it seems ) so as long as you get a good download speed you can watch as much as your hearts content. |

I've been buying most of my DVD and Blu-rays from HMV as well lately. They're great for new Arrow and 88 Films releases in the two for £25 deal, and older films in the 5 for £30 offer. And i've got no interest in streaming whatsoever. As a collector, I want the physical product in my hand, not a crappy download. |

I can not remember the last time I went into HMV but it must have years ago. I buy only DVDs now and do not own one single Blu ray. Yeah the same here but sadly that is the next step forward. |

Not for me. With over 5000 discs of film and tv i've no wish to pay for something i cannot own.

The Black Mirror episode 15 Million Credits would be a real horrorshow for some on here. That's what he does best. Takes a modern idiom and multiplies it to a horrific degree (see also White Bear ). I am a hoarder. I have to explain to people that the ones on the tv are mentalists. Whereas I have an overriding interest in Modern Cultural History

Disney may be dropping 4K Blu-ray catalogue releases - could we be coming to the end of film on physical media? | The Digital Fix "Reports are circulating the internet having gathered steam over the last few days that Disney are set to stop releasing catalogue titles - both their own releases and those of the multitude of studios they own - on 4K Blu-ray. While the format has never been huge it has become one that many collectors are treasuring as it is likely to be the last form of physical media we see."
