Blue ray only lasts 25-40 years on average. Just pirate it xD.

This is as good of a time as any to tell you guys that future Oscar winning movie, Barbie, is now also available on Blu-Ray and DVD, physical copies that you’ll always have if you want to watch it again.

Hard disk drives will last even less. The lubrication will dry up and the disk will seize way before the 25 year mark.
Bluray is a fine back up media, I use them for stuff on my NAS that I cannot lose like precious pictures of family and friends. Not all of us live on am abandoned salt mine with perfect temperature and humidity for long term tape storage.

That’s what you have redundancies and backups

How long are SD and microSD cards expected to last? Asking because I have a dozen of them lying around

Or… you could buy multiple copies of the Blu-Ray so that if one copy fails, you’ll always have backup Barbies at the ready.

No they’ll all fail at the same time 25 to 30 years in the future.
You need to buy multiple copies and place each one in a deep freeze, then thaw each one out as the previous one fails. It’s the only logical response.

The physical discs degrade overtime. Getting 10 copies now won’t stop that, even if one might outlast another for a bit.

and the quality of a 4k DVD is really high, much higher than the downloaded copy likely is!

Blu-Ray discs can carry mandatory software updates that change the functionality of playback devices, add “protections” against “piracy, and could potentially revoke licenses of content on other discs.
Media companies are prepared to screw you over regardless of wether or not you but content from them. I do believe in paying for content, but I don’t trust any modern distribution to last, so I have a couple backups of all the media I’ve ever purchased. And for formats that make it difficult to back up, I sail the seven seas.
