We’re still on Laserdisc here, the picture still looks amazing and you can avoid the heavy handed noise reduction and color grading they do these days to everything. I rarely use my DVD player, and don’t own a Blu-Ray player.
If they didn’t muck up the colors so badly these days Blu-Ray might hold some appeal for me but in case I feel I’m missing the remasters I can just crank up the greenish blue on my TV.
RCA once had a monopoly on patents for broadcast radio and color TV, but its attempt to create "the next thing" (home video) failed utterly and was one cause of RCA going out of business.
A company like Facebook jumping into a new technology like VR with both feet faces the same kind of risk: a cautionary tale!
