*The license... you aren't buying the series, just the license to stream it from iTunes.

The Blu-ray box set is $200.

The price difference between revocable streaming licenses and physical media is worth it, as physical media is not revocable.

(You might find it cheaper on eBay)

If that iTunes license goes away that's a morally green signal to get a non-revocable license from The Pirate Bay.

Yep yep I know how it works. But fwiw I’ve never had anything I’ve purchased on Vudu or iTunes not be accessible/playable subsequently. Sure it may get removed and not searchable anymore, but still playable and present in your library. And I have over 700 movies (peanuts by comparison to many though).

And also, re: $200 vs $20, $200 for the physical is most definitely NOT worth it to me.
