get the best of both worlds - you can't beat sticking a torrent ripped dvd on to watch with your kids :)

And it is being checked out.

I rent or buy new release movies when they come out. I go to see one or two movies a year, but want to see blockbusters the day they are released to dvd.

Last time I tried netflix a few years ago I could only get one or two blu rays at a time and had to wait forever till it was available to stream. I don't need netflix for tv shows as I have direct tv with a dvr.

Doesn't sound like apples to oranges to me

And there you have it.

DVR can get you full back seasons?

CDs
 

Why pay Netflix when my library has a large movie and music selection I can check out for free?

On FaceBook there's a vinyl group that has 17,000 members. The other day one member was bitching about a new pressing for $50.

CDs will be around for awhile. They have a lot of commercial uses. A lot of ads, usually aimed toward seniors, will send them a free CD touting their expensive product. I worked for several large corporations and they got their monthly bank statements on CD, as the banks didn't want to have to electronically store years of bank statements and check images. Same way with payroll whether it's done in house or using a payroll processing company, it was was stored on CDs. Unless the bank and customers all go to blue ray they're going to stick with CDs.

Our father had a chain of shops, brand new, the older VHS titles were £60 a copy when brand new :party-smi

Can the Internet deliver full standard def TV?

Can the Internet deliver full HD ?

The only source of real HD is blu ray and so if you want to watch a good film projected blu ray is the only way to go.

Some DVD are very good too projected old black and white classics.

Films projected from the Internet fall apart. Give it another 20 years.

4K on Netflix is great of you think 8 bit colour is the way to go.

I still record stuff to VHS .... even got the Roku wired through an RF converter so I can tape Hulu and Netflix without it turning out black and white.

Bluray is not dead. Millions of games on BR disks are being sold every month.

Also 4K 3D movies encoded with h.256 that will come in 2015 requires 100GB of space.
Good luck with downloading it and keeping on a hard drive.

Discs are dead.

I love that I have less wires because I dumped all of that stuff. For a whie my tv was a total fucking mess. I had cable, dvd player, and the xbox so being able to get rid one thing was huge and then I dumped the xbox.
