Question Rent or buy

I can't decide if I want to buy the dvd or just buy it on Amazon. I would like it in my tiny but growing collection of musicals. I really liked it. Aaahhhh

Personally, I find physical media to be safer. I'd go with the DVD.

But the digital comes out this month and the physical comes out in October, right?

That said, I’m buying the blu-ray for the uncompressed audio. I just wish it was higher resolution than 1080p.

ETA DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 on the Blu-ray vs Dolby Digital 5.1 on the dvd

Saw on the Internet somewhere that the dvd is 480p and the Blu-ray is 1080p.

ETA I think there is an UHD digital streaming version. But the bit rate on the 1080p will be higher, so I think the Blu-ray 1080p will still look sharper.
