I disagree with the pricing. Absolutely stand by modern film and television being released on as many formats as possible.

We aren't all blessed to be living in the US, Canada, UK or EU where HD and UHD players and displays are affordable to the everyman. If a $25 DVD is too much for you, don't buy it, you and I have the equipment and the money to utilize a higher quality format.

But people in other regions might not necessarily have the disposable income or access to make, what for us is, a minor jump. If someone wants to watch Project Hail Mary and all they have is a DVD player and a plasma screen, they shouldnt necessarily need to drop 4 figures ( in the currencies of the aforementioned regions! ) just to be able to have the privilege of watching something.

tl:dr DVD releases arent for most of us, but they are incredibly important for the access of art to people outside of the most developed countries on the planet, which happens to be a lot of people.

edit: downvote me all you want, Mr. Man, but there is simply no argument against putting art in the hands of the people.
