Also, depending on how you define a “recent” movie. You can get them for as little as $0.25 or as much as $300. Heck the most expensive movie that my husband bought was old not new.
The movie you shared is 13$ on Walmart’s website. Regardless, you’re talking about reducing the choice by a lot to stay under a fixed budget, not really the same as having access to a whole database and recent movies/series. All that goes out the window for series anyways, those are usually stupid expensive.
More power to you though. Personally, I would rip the CDs and put them on a hardrive with jellyfin just out of convenience.
The other aspect of this, for me, is that streaming is high definition and I have functional eyeballs.
Even the most highly compressed HD content that’s been served up to me is orders of magnitude better looking than low-def DVD potato quality video. So at a minimum, if it were going to be a remotely accurate comparison between paid physical versus paid streaming, DVD shouldn’t even be in the discussion for many/most of us.
It’s obvious though that bacon_pdp is not a serious person nor trying to have an honest discussion with you, but hopefully you already recognize that.
$0.99 is more than a month of streaming?
The bargain bin usually doesn’t have anything interesting. How much is an actual recent movie?
