The availability of physical media previously distributed through a prominent streaming service for purchase represents a secondary market for movie and television show enthusiasts. This market offers a way to acquire titles that may no longer be available on the platform or collect them for personal libraries.
The rise of streaming has undeniably shifted media consumption habits; however, a demand persists for tangible copies. Owning these allows permanent access, unrestricted by licensing agreements or platform availability. This option also caters to regions with limited internet bandwidth or individuals valuing the higher picture and sound quality sometimes associated with physical discs. Furthermore, it offers a nostalgic appeal and a way to physically possess favorite content.
