🚨 Blu-rays are disappearing... but why are 4K UHD and even DVDs surviving?
Something is changing in the world of physical media. While 4K UHD continues to grow and DVDs somehow refuse to die, standard Blu-rays seem to be disappearing from store shelves, receiving fewer releases, and becoming the forgotten format. Is this just a temporary shift... or the beginning of the end for Blu-ray?
In today's video, I break down the current state of physical media, explain why Blu-rays are struggling more than 4Ks and DVDs, discuss the latest industry news including Sony's recent decisions, streaming, digital ownership, and retail changes, rant about where the industry has gone wrong, and ask the biggest question of all:
Can physical media still be saved?

⚠️ Blu-rays helped define modern movie collecting, but today they're caught between premium 4K releases and the enduring popularity of DVDs. The question is... can Blu-ray recover before it's too late?
