The key differences with this analogy is that the blu-ray port of old movies aren't sold at full price. They're sold for $10. Also blu-ray players can play and upscale DVDs while PS4 can't play ps3 discs at all.

Ignore the haters prof. I thought your thread was clever. You rock old sport.

Where do you buy these $10 old ports? Criterion collection is $25 and up. A lot of others don't start at $10 either, more like $20, it's only after a while that left over stock is sold at $10. Same with games.

I wish blu-ray was region free like games are now. There are a lot of movies that don't come out here or much later. I should buy a region free player, but with 4K around the corner I guess I better wait.
Why is 1492: Conquest of paradise only available in Europe
Why is City of lost children, a french movie, only available in Japan. Japan is the same region as US, but French with Japanese subtitles in pretty pointless.
Why is The Andromeda strain only available in Germany.
Why are Porco Rosso, Kiki's delivery service, Princess Mononoke not available here. The last one I imported from Hong Kong, NA sucks for releases.

I hope releases will make more sense with 4K blu-ray but I doubt it.
