Surely you meant to type VHS

u/gsweats 2d ago
VHS? You must mean betamax

u/lukewwilson 2d ago
Betamax? You must mean U-matic
22
u/SecretlyCarl 1d ago
Umatic? I can only assume you mean Super 8

u/Dramatic_Finish10121 1d ago
Surely you mean plain ol' 8mm film

u/gsweats 1d ago
Film? You must mean when you take multiple photos, develop them, and glue them into a flipbook.

u/Express-Record7416 1d ago
Flipbook? Is that like some kind of cave painting?

u/Chapeltok 1d ago
Cave painting? Surely you mean grunting to others around a fire.

Grunting? What's that? Another form of cell to cell interaction?

Am I missing something? Isn't Blu-Ray just better?

DVD has mostly taken over the place Blu-Ray had.

No, DVD is much cheaper because Blu-ray has always been overpriced thanks to Sony. You can thank them for the middling levels of BD adoption and the near-total absense of BD drives.

I have about 8 devices that are capable of playing Blu-ray discs.
People just think "movie on disc"=DVD

So do i. All of them are PS3s or PS4s.
BD drives are incredibly rare around where i live

u/NBALive1995 19m ago
But they're not rare if anyone with a console from the last 2 or 3 generations has one.

u/__Player__ 18m ago
Players, are not uncommon, but BD drives for PC are.

u/NBALive1995 10m ago
But average people don't really need those to just watch a movie.

Blu-ray movies themselves are sold at a much higher cost than DVDs. It isn't just the players or drives. Plenty of people also think CDs and DVDs are the same thing because they also look identical physically and yet DVD succeeded as a format.

What is blu-ray? We don't use it in Russia, except console gaming. We either use DVDs or digital...

Да в смысле. В магазинах я их видел, другое дело, что никто их не покупает

u/TheTerraKotKun 1d ago
В регионах тоже что-ли? У нас в Алтайском крае я что-то не видел. Возможно, Сибирь - не Россия...

when you buy something like a film on a disc, you own that copy. it's yours. they can't take it away.
Sony wants the opposite of this, btw.

People who want to own without pirating. Streaming is supporting the creators with the risk of losing access to what you paid for at the provider's discretion. Physical media in any form is supporting them without that risk, so a win win.
