So vinyl I get. I even get cassette tape nostalgia to some degree.
But who, might I ask, has nostalgia for horrible quality video and audio and could actually want this?
This is simply novelty merch. Cassette Futurism was largely inspired by the first Alien movie in particular and Romulus is very much an attempt to go back to the roots of the first movie, hence all the analog equipment there. So this is just for die hard fans of the franchise and the design aesthetic it birthed.
I imagine it's because it is a larger piece of media than a Blu-ray so will look pretty on a shelf for completists.
That's what Laserdisc is for.
