FWIW, there is some subtlety here with respect to "physical media", as something that otherwise looks like physical media can still have DRM annoying enough that you might not be able to have a functional player when you go to use your media 20 years later (particularly if your console has Internet access).

Case in point: Terminator 2 Extreme, purchased in 2003. I figured that having the physical media meant I could play this forever long as I owned the discs.

I haven't been able to play those discs since 2008, when the license servers went offline.

See if your local library has a copy. My library doesn't have many Blu-Rays, but the ones they do have seem to be DRM-free.
