Maybe as long as he cools it down with his fridge, and feeds it 480 volt three phase.

I just ordered the entire collection of the first 30 seasons of 'The Bold and the Beautiful' - remastered on 47 BluRay discs!
Hopefully it gets here soon, I am looking forward to finally having something to watch over 3-4 weeks. 😊

I've always defended the physical format as long it's accessible and (minimally) affordable). So the answer is yes, and I would even include music CDs because it's not justifiable for me to pay a monthly or yearly subscription to listen to music when I can just listen to my own rips offline and whenever I want.

Last month I managed to get a 12TB Plex server with my own video library so I can watch what I have outside home too if I want to kill some time.

While digital can be very convenient to have immediate access to content and in some cases its lower price, in my eyes it's only a good solution in short-term and medium-term. On the videogames field, I actually signed the "Stop Killing Games" petition a while ago and I'm disappointed about the recent outcome despite of the 1.3M signatures.

It's the only way to go for me. Plus with the physical media, I will get the best quality I would need for my home theater system anyway.

Also nice! I have my own Plex server setup as well, even though I don't much like Plex for a number of reasons, it's something I have anyway.
