Yeah, I remember reading about that.  I agree it's good that blu-ray won that format war.

I'm not sure I'd call optical formats unnecessary..  You can't always rely on your internet always working 100%, and same for a streaming service.  Streaming services randomly pull content from their services too, so you can't even rely on something always being available to watch there.  Those are a few of the reasons I still like to buy movies on physical formats.
