Back when I actually used a Blu-Ray player, it did take an update to play certain discs.

I don't bother with them anymore. DVD is sufficient quality and rips to files easily for low-profile additions to my library

    Delusional. Also DVD has region locks as well.

    It really is. I have a ton of movies even lower res than DVD, like 480x272 (because way back in 2008 I wanted to be able to play them on my PSP which couldn't handle anything bigger...) and they're perfectly watchable. But of course I grew up on broadcast TV and VHS, it's all uphill from there.

    Yeah. Literally just watched "The Terminator" - which I legally bought on DVD and ripped - on a 65" OLED TV streamed from my Plex instance and it was perfectly fine. I do watch higher-res stuff but honestly at couch-distance DVD quality is enough.

    As for region locks, my ripping software and drive couldn't give two shits about that.
