    Genuinely curious how are publishers limiting physical media? I haven’t bought a blu-ray in a long while.

        Not the publishers fault, for the vast majority it’s by choice and not necessity that they don’t buy physical media anymore.

        Yeah, but that’s not some massive conspiracy to remove them. They just don’t sell, like CDs before them. Blu-ray never really won its format war. It just staved off the execution of discs for a few years.

        £25 for one movie is a hard sell when it will come to Disney+ in a month. Even more so when it can get you a VPN for 6 months and you can have it now.

          You should go to the flea market. No recent things but lots of choice for maximum 3€ the DVD.
