Hard copy.
It's always there when you want it and won't be destroyed by an EMP burst.

People just got lazy and complacent. They started to assume that it would always be there and when it turns out that it's not, they just make excuses for why the things they paid good money for aren't available. It's why I will never, ever pay for any streaming movie like that. If I don't have it on my shelf where I can watch it whenever I want, then I don't need it at all.

And your physical box sets also won't get censored or have episodes pulled down the road because someone found something "problematic" with the content.
I am glad I grabbed the one of the Blu Ray iterations of Star Trek that still has the original visual effects and opening theme as a viewing option.
The streaming versions only include the CGI visual effects that are “aging” faster than the original visual effects and the “re-created” opening theme with a modern orchestra and singer.

I can read. I can write. I walked away from my big break in H'w'd.
I can enjoy what I like from them, but I don't need them.

Which version was that? There is always the bay of e.

I recommend grabbing it; just to make sure you have a copy of the original series, as it was presented…you don’t want to be in the position that Star Wars fans are in with access to the Star Wars Trilogy: Special Edition only…

Nice. I have the same set
Are you talking about this one...
I'm not totally sure but it doesn't look like it has the original broadcast version. Otherwise, it's probably the nicest set.

I don't. If they refuse to put it out on physical media, I pirate it and burn my own. They had a chance to make some money. It's their fault if they don't take it.
While I het to admit defeat, it makes economic sense... the stores don't have to buy AND stock all those DVDs/Blu-rays (many of which will never sell)... money saved.
The studios don't have to "make" the physical media, as most of it is on demand/ streaming... money saved.
...which is better for the environment, in a small fractional way I guess.
It gives the studios greater control over their content (whether this is good or bad, I'm not arguing that point)...
And those of us who frequent TheRPF have to remember that we are the MINORITY of consumers.
"I want my Star Trek original TV series with its original, period specific effects and NO CGI updates!" .... said no average consumer, ever.
Let me be clear: It's NOT WRONG to preserve and hold the original TV series/films (flaws and all) as they were originally produced, even when the creators (ahem, Lucas) later change their minds. It's just that those consumers that WANT that represent... what... 5% at best?
