There have been a few blu-ray releases (particularly 4K blu-ray) that have had UK releases but no US releases..  I've ordered a couple from Amazon UK.

Blu-ray (especially 4K) is much better than DVD in terms of video image quality. Since I started buying blu-ray (2010), I've basically stopped buying DVDs unless a title is only released on DVD - though these days, there are things that are (oddly) only available on DVD and I've refused to buy them because I know they could release them on blu-ray and would prefer blu-ray, for the video quality.  The Orville is one such TV show that is available on DVD but not blu-ray.
