This is my media center:

Over 500 Blu-rays that's about 24 Terabytes as well. Add games and equally large DVD collection plus some CDs.
Console works fine with a massive media center :)

Impressive Star Fox. Although. That's not a media center, that's a media collection. Haha
Although I could give that a run for it's money. ;)

The point of a HTPC though is so you don't have to get up and put disks in, you have already dumped them and turned them into digital copies. (Legal in countries like Australia where we are allowed to make personal copies of media and software.)

And how long would it take to dump over a thousand movies.... That's hardly convenient now is it :)

There's Netflix on the tv remote if I'm too lazy to put in a disk. If I want top quality picture, sound and extras for the full movie experience, blu-ray is the way to go and consoles are very useful for that. The only downside is the crap they make you have to skip through before you can start the movie.

You could argue 4K gives an even better picture quality, however I bought Your Name on blu-ray for CAD 25, the 4K edition is CAD 143

The blu-ray is reference quality, stunning upscaled to 4K. I can live without the extra bits and keep CAD 118 in my pocket!
