I do understand that the picture quality is better, but I will admit I had a hard time when I first started seeing things on Blu-ray. Old movies looked too sharp. Like they were shot on video. Bladerunner was a sight to behold though. |

Unfortunately my internet is too slow to allow 4K streams - I too have recently upgraded my old TV (ancient 46" Samsung) to a new 4K one (cheap 55" TCL). |

It guarantees that DVD never dies out, and I think that is the ultimate goal. |

And as mentioned, big new releases go on sale for $15. It looks like the typical MSRP is $24.99. Considering thirty years ago new releases on VHS cost roughly the same, that just doesn't seem outrageous to me. |

One thing I've noticed about Disney DVD's is that they are always at around the same price. Around here it's around $19.99 for a Disney film no matter how old the film itself is. Most other studios lower the price of a movie after it's been out on DVD for a while, but not Disney.

One can buy the complete Raiders series (all 4 movies) for $40 Blu-ray or $31 for DVD. The Mummy collection, also 4 movies is $17 for Blu-ray. It's interesting how fast prices drop for block busters that are 20 years old. The exceptions are those movies where the DVD has become either a collector's items or is fairly rare. Some of the old martial arts flicks from the 70's - 90's can command hundreds of dollars. |

Man, if you're looking for alternate animated versions of fairy tales, at least find good ones. |
