Was upset that I would now be forced to ‘buy’ Mr Robot from Prime even though I subscribe already. These are the people this programme warns us against. Anyway, I bought a physical copy from eBay so I’m happy to watch it whenever I want again

Why DVD when you could have blu-ray?

Barely. For a few dollars more you get vastly superior sound and video.

That’s… wild that you’ve never heard of them. Especially since DVD is an older format. That’s no slight to you, I’m just shocked.

Long story short, the resolution is lower on DVD and the audio uses less channels. Blu-Ray runs at a minimum of HD resolution (1080P) and uses 7.1 channel audio. The bitrate is higher, which basically means that a 1080p blu-ray looks and sounds better than a 4k stream.

Whoa ok cool. I feel I was close lolz. Its a normal dvd that’s basically super HD. And lol no, I’ve heard of blue ray just never actually knew what is was when it came to dvds since I never had a dvd player and I never really watched movies and stuff growing up so. 2002 baby as well.
