Physical media has a superior bitrate to streaming services because physical media doesn't have to account for things like bandwidth, people's internet connections, data caps (if you live in a country like the US that still has data caps), etc. because it's just playing off a disc.


But isn't there only a limited amount of space on a disc? Is what you just said because the disc has only a fixed amount of space that cannot change?

I still also would like to know how a physical copy of something worth $100 is still "cheaper" than streaming? Because $100 is a lot of money lost if you use it to buy something immediately.
