I’m honestly confused as to why there’s even a DVD-only release these days.

I suppose the price difference? (here in the UK if a bluray is £15, then the dvd is usually around £10) - and some people aren’t too bothered about the greater picture quality and detail etc (as Silverwook says) - they just want to watch the film.

Be interesting to see a comparison on bluray to dvd sales though. And the effect on them due to increasing number of movie channels, rentals, streaming, digital downloads, many people having less money - and dodgy torrents etc.

I’ll likely buy Rogue One on dvd (even with the appalling cover 😉), and then rip it to the hard drive and watch it through the chromecast on tv - it doesn’t take up too much drive space, and I’ll have back up just in case the disc goes awry.
