I tried buying the BluRay to one of the recent Spider-Man movies. Unfortunately, due to DRM, I could not play it in my BluRay drive on my PC? I might have had to download some proprietary video playback software or something.
I realized that this too was such a hassle compared to the files that I could potentially download. As great as physical media is, the convenience factor plays an impact for me. I want to own my media, but I have to put in work and have a non-ideal setup to watch it.
On top of everything, with all the intros, and piracy warnings, just so many layers of non-comvenience.
