Damn. I was just starting to rebuild my physical catalog so I could get away from streaming.

Movies are not sold on recordable media, they are sold on pressed discs. There are a lot more manufacturers than just Sony too.

Keep doing it. Especially niche titles.

You think I can find tv shows like greg the bunny, or clerks the animated series? And then TV shows start retroactively saying whats ok to show and whats not. Then pulling the episodes from streaming.

Or maybe the rights run out, and no other streaming picks it up.

I've started building mine up again, too, because too often a movie I want to watch isn't available to stream and purchasing a physical copy costs less than a digital copy.
