I don't own any way to play physical disc media anymore, and for the handful of movies I watch multiple times (so far 2), it made sense to buy them.

I only buy through Amazon Videos, with the logic being Amazon is going to be around awhile.

Sony will be around a while too, but as you've just seen here, it's not about how healthy the company hosting the video files is.

Yeah but Sony has a decade long history of being schizophrenic with long term media format support.

Amazon has spent more money on prime video that Sony has on the entirety of PlayStation. Videos sold on the PlayStation store are a bullet point in a PowerPoint of Sony's finances.
