   Blueray should be better quality, but I never got into bluerays.  If you   
   already purhase things on iTunes, I think you'll find the best deal   
   there for digital content vs discs, and I doubt you'll have an issue   
   with the quality of the HD ones, unless you have a 4K TV, maybe.  If you   
   have a poor internet connection, go the disc route.   
      
   I'll buy the original set from you; I have a CRT TV to watch it on ;)
