Did you mean "Yes they are giving away a free blu-ray player?"
BTW, here's the guy at Sony in charge of the blu-ray release, taken while he was reading the comments on this forum:
Later, I went to visit him in his office to apologize about my comments here. This is what happened:
Regarding if they ever are put on iTunes:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8365864?sortBy=rankLots of back and forth on whether or not you can watch movies purchased forever. It's as clear as mud to me. All I know is that I can still watch my old films, because the projectors were built like tanks and are fairly easily maintained and repaired if you have any mechanical sense and are handy with basic tools like screwdrivers and allen wrenches.
For digital, whether you have a physical shiny disc, or have files stored on a hard drive, and assuming the physical media remains undamaged and/or is properly backed up, there's a chance you may not be able to view it in, say, 20 years. You need software to view it, and the old software may not run on new hardware and/or new operating systems. This could happen it the file format or codec is abandoned and there is no way to convert it to a new format. Else, you would have to have the source code for a media player, and a compiler for the language in which it is written, and that compiler needs to be compatible with the new hardware and operating system. If it sounds complicated, that's because it is. At the end of the day, your movies are a series on 1s and 0s that approximate what was put on film. The way they are arranged is coded, and you need to be able to decode it to view the movie. That's why a thousand years from now, a film buried in a time capsule has a better chance to be viewed by the person that found it than a blu-ray disc. You can hold a film up to the light, and you can see a series of images. What do you see when you hold a disc up to the light?
I long ago threw away floppy discs, because I no longer had hardware that could read them. Same thing can and will happen with DVDs and blu-ray discs. The films I still have and that still can be viewed were bought long before I bought any of those floppy discs. And my projectors are older than any VHS player or DVD player I had that's now in a landfill.
What's that old saying? I think it's something like, "You keep buying and rebuying music and movies you like in new formats, then you die."
