    Sony should invent a way for people to buy a movie, own it, and be able to store it on a shelf or something. Maybe we can even lend them to friends or start a library.

        And to think the joke back in 2013 was that it was Microsoft who so fervently defended the right to “not allow people to sell, lend or share their games”, while Sony was just “With our console, you can”

        You could even like, use a really high frequency of laser rays so that you can pack as much data on that blue disc! Maybe we could trademark this. I’ll call it High Definition DVD.

      Ok, but why would I want to store digital media on a shelf? IMHO not having physical media cluttering up my physical space is a big advantage of online purchases. That, and being able to acquire new stuff at any time, day or night, without even leaving home.

        Well, I’d also take the option of just downloading it and keeping it on my hard drive.
