There was a VHS and Laserdisc release, but I've never been able to find and afford them.

I recently bought a Blu-Ray release of a movie that I've only owned on VCD for decades.
The argument that DVD quality is good enough considering the source is the same misguided advice that you should capture VHS at 320x240 because that's "all the quality VHS has". To say that my DVD versions are qualitatively the same as the Blu-Ray is ridiculous.Īn additional plus to Blu-Ray releases is that they're often remastered, as in the case of my series and Seven Samurai as I talked about above. My only regret is buying multiple cheaper versions (a common issue with Asian releases from outer countries). I've spent hundreds on 4-5 different versions of a Japanese series, now owning it on Blu-Ray. Your choice! I don't have money to burn, but I have an appreciation and desire to watch videos in the best quality possible, and am willing to pay for quality. Most of the time all that size for just one film is questionable, but not for ardent fans who want extras, commentaries, so the size goes up. That said blu rays do justify their sizes in cases of a TV show which ran for many years and many episodes, so need the space. Reminds me of bigger is better e.g 4k is better than 2k and now 8k- our eyes must be wonderful like a hawk. People must have money to burn amassing hundreds of these studio driven coasters! All subjective of course as a commercially mastered DVD(bad codec and all!) played back on a good TV will give you just as much enjoyment as a bloated blu ray dnr'd to death.
