Why sell something once if they can sell it to you every month whether you use it or not?
Well you can (and I do) buy digital versions. So no sub required. Or just shop at Amazon.com.
LPT: UK is the same Blu-ray region as us. So Amazon.co.uk if your player isn't region free.
Funnily enough I have a region A player. From when Blu rays were quite new. I believe the newer ones are region free these days.
I remember I couldn't lend my disks to my friends as their players were region locked B. Region A had the thinner cases too which I liked.
The problem with those is the DRM so you can't use it if Amazon go down (or lose their licence to it) which is where DVDs and Blu-rays shine
I think the real headline is that Sanity still exists?!
They still had an anchor in my local mall only up until the beginning of this year.
Well noted film/physical media blogger confirmed the whole thing.

I dunno, kinda feels like a win for the environment.
What about the power cost of all the internet infrastructure and servers needed to deliver the content vs a bit of polycarbonate and aluminum that you can play whenever you want using a player and TV?
The 'bit' of polycarbonate derived from oil and aluminium mined from earths resources?
