Seriously? Given how all the streaming services are getting more expensive, I was starting to wonder if buying some good series on Blu-ray would be the better option.

Buying series on a disc is crazy expensive. You're better off subscribing to a streaming service and cancel when you're done watching, even with the price increases.

Your library may also provide them, if that’s what you’re thinking about.

The 17 year old technology of blu ray is apparently too new fangled for my library. Almost all of their collection, including new acquisitions, is the 27 year old format of DVD.

Almost all of my library’s collection is composed of the thousand year old format called books.

That's what I do, it's a really good idea if you can find them on sale
