It's just like mp3s. They will always work but there are more convenient solutions available cheap right now.

The price goes up, not down on these things.

Paramount sells an HD digital copy of Star Trek for $19.99. If you have the disc of it, why wouldn't you convert for $2/$5?

But it really isn't. Adding slightly more portability to music makes sense as music on the go has always been a plus. But movies are not like that. - Iron Spawn May 1, 20:41 30
- It's the lack of physical media. - David May 1, 20:44 19
  - Well, I guess as someone that has less than thirty DVDs, I guess we see it differently. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 1, 20:46 2
    - Ironically, three fourths of those are David's Backyard Adventure DVDs -- nm - Qale May 1, 20:47 1
      - Those were digital years before anyone knew how to play them. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 1, 20:49
  - My issue is that I've never been much of a media owner. I never even bought that many DVDs. -- nm - Dano May 1, 20:46 15
    - I also don't think I own any way to watch a digital version other than my laptop and I won't watch movies on my laptop. -- nm - Dano May 1, 20:52 14
      - We should form a club. - Iron Spawn May 1, 20:53 13
        
        STONECUTTERS. -- nm - Beryllium May 1, 20:58 12
        
        heh. David, the last point I will make is this. When I watch a movie, I *watch* the movie. - Iron Spawn May 1, 21:02 11
        
        The out-and-about part is probably the least important part of it. - Ender May 1, 21:08 1
        
        Hmm. Irrelevant, true, irrelevant. But I can see where some people might like those. Thanks. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 1, 21:15
        
        I am not joking when I say that you clearly have a minimal understanding of this. -- nm - David May 1, 21:05 8
        
        Then what am I missing? - Iron Spawn May 1, 21:10 7
        
        Ender's post is a good start. - David May 1, 21:14 6
        
        And that is the difference. What I have already seen has little value to me. What I have yet to see is much more important. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 1, 21:17 5
        
        Didn't you just watch Cars 2? - David May 1, 21:19 4
        
        To Bub, yes. He has 4 movies that are important. They sit on a shelf. If he wants to watch one we put it in. - Iron Spawn May 1, 21:22 3
        
        Baldrick, you have almost counted the beans! - David May 1, 21:30 2
        
        See, I don;t need to watch Blackadder again and again to appreciate it. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 1, 21:38 1
        
        "Yay! Imagination TV!" -- nm - Reagen May 1, 21:53
- My kids would argue with you on that. -- nm - oblique May 1, 20:42 9
  - But here is the deal, something most seem to have forgotten. - Iron Spawn May 1, 20:45 8
    - Keep carving those walls, Caveman. -- nm - David May 1, 20:46 7
      - If that means I want Logan to enjoy being out of the house, I will gladly take it.. - Iron Spawn May 1, 20:48 6
        
        The cloud exists outside your house, befuddled Caveman. - David May 1, 20:49 5
        
        That is my point, as in videos are to be viewed indoors. - Iron Spawn May 1, 20:51 4
        
        You lack vision. - David May 1, 20:54 3
        
        No, I see what you are taking about. I simply disagree, and reject it. Like Dano said, I can already watch anything on my computer, but I do not. -- nm - Iron Spawn May 1, 20:57 2
        
        THIS -- nm - Beaker May 2, 05:03
        
        This post is your Hunger Games. -- nm - David May 1, 21:03
Because I can watch it on DVD for free? (If I ever choose to watch it at all...) -- nm - JaxSean May 1, 20:38
