The author himself pointed out in the end of the article that blurays are cheap- in my view they provide a close enough physical experience. I would probably stick with Blu-ray approach?
They leave the last disc laying on the TV cabinet. It never, ever goes back in the box. I found three stacked at one point, and I think one disc just outright disappeared and we had to get a new one. It wasn’t until the discs started skipping that the kids even thought about taking care of them.
Plus, to fathom a three-year-old-destroyer-of-property handling your blu-ray disc collection, I shudder! They are great frisbees, and coasters, and etc.
If I even still owned blu-rays I might consider ripping them and then converting to this just to avoid the above mentioned pain.
My favorite example was the kids using dvds as roller skates to slide around the room.
Kids, little ones especially, are quite rough on discs. That's if they even make it back into the case!
