My question is based on an hypothesis which, I think, is quite realistic.
My hypothesis is that in the near future there will exist a sort of platform similar to netflix on which we will be able to watch pretty much any movie we want in the best visual/sound quality available at the time in exchange for a mensual fee (like Netflix). So if the best at the time is 4k the films will be shown in 4k, but it will constantly adapt to technological advances.
If such a platform come to exist (which I think is really likely) then pretty much all the films we own on DVD/Blu Ray will be available on this platform and considering it will have the best visual/sound conditions for us to watch films then it will always be preferable for us to watch a film on this platform then to watch our DVD/Blu Ray.
Obviously, my argument for the uselessnes of DVD/Blu Ray relies on the future existence of such a platform, so the question is: Do you think such a platform will exist?
Or in general, without talking about my hypothesis you can share your views upon the question of the relevance of DVD/Blu Ray.
I'm asking that here because I'm considering to stop buying physical copy of films because I think that my hypothesis will very likely happen in a near future and that if so it would be a total loss of money to buy physical copies of film (considering I don't really care for collecting, I just buy films so I can watch them any time).
