For this to have been a 5 star rating it only would have needed to been produced as a factory silver disc rather than a BD-R disc. For those of you in Rio Linda, that means it is a bluray copy made by the producer of the film and not a factory (what is called a) silver disc that will not degrade over time.
There are not enough years that the the recordable BD-R disc has been around that could give us the proof of how long it may last, but I know from my CD-R music discs that they do NOT last as long as the factory discs. Also, when I first tried playing this BD-R in my Sony bluray player, it did not read and conseqquenty did not play it. Best Buy Geek people told me I needed to make sure I had the Sony player "updated online so it would be able to play the latest discs".
So, I updated the player via the online service, and VOILA! It STILL didn't play, as opposed to EVERY other factory bluray disc I have purchased this year.
O.K., so maybe I should rate this a 2 or a 3. But, I watched it on a friend's Samsung bluray player and the movie is GREAT. Ergo, a 4 star rating. But, are you feelin' my pain? The Geek man told me to buy a cheep bluray player that is NOT a SONY. Nice news, eh?

When I was a kid I spent a lot of time in record stores. Well, they only sold CDs and cassettes then and not many records but still. It's sad to see them go and this movie offers a very insightful picture into that. People interested in retail business, the music industry, technology, and economics will all enjoy this!

Sadness, I watch this and I get sad even thinking about not being able to go in the store anymore.

Bluray disc doesn't play

Sorry, but the bluray disc I just received from BestBuy was inserted into my SONY Bluray player just after I watched my bluray disc of Magical Mystery Tour. It never loaded after 3 tries, and all I got was a pink screen, and then it literally turned my SONY off. Really! Anyone else experience this problem with specifically the bluray version? 4/9/2016
