      Weirdly enough, DVDs are still by far the most popular physical format.

        I still buy them, but I prefer when it’s a dvd/blueray/3D (if available) combo pack.

        Well, they’re often cheaper and easier to rip. I ha e a bluray reader w/ Libredrive flashed, but not everyone has that.

      I’m going to go out on a limb and say this company that makes DVDs probably also makes Blu-Ray discs.

          Yeah, it sounded weird when I had it like that, so I added the disc to the end. Turned out, it was only 4 characters, so not a big imposition.
