For literally ZERO quality loss in the comfort of my home, I just plug in external hard drive and play all my Star Wars movies from there. I burn blu Rays for the sake of mobility.
Yes, but the TV I do most of my Star Wars viewing on (the one hooked up to my 5.1 system) is old enough that it can’t handle video through the USB port, and the physical distribution of stuff in the room makes the laptop-through-HDMI thing kind of a pain in the ass. Discs are way more convenient for me, provided I’m in the possession of blank discs (which I currently am).
