Maybe a better question -- with NetFlix and Hulu and Vudu and all the other options out there -- is "Why would anyone buy a DVD?" I get the concept of wanting to get a newer film on DVD fast and not wanting to wait for the other delivery systems. But for anything older than six months I'm not sure I get it. I do understand the idea of wanting to build a library and I'm a guy that used to have a complete movie theater room a few houses ago. But nowadays it seems like compiling a lot of DVDs is just clutter in a life I'm trying to
unclutter.
Maybe it's just me... :hmgrin:
EDIT: On the other hand, apparently it's
not just me. :hmlol:

As an addendum, don't shed any tears for the entertainment industry. All these new options are simply evolutionary developments in the delivery system and studios get their take from them. After all, remember when everything was on Beta? Wait! No, most of you don't! :sklol:
I'm far from an earthy/crunchy type, but I will point out that subscription systems are good for our environment as they're electronically delivering entertainment. Try to imagine the landfill mound made up of thirty years of tossed out Beta, VHS, DVD movies and all the packaging that went with them.
