Re: DVDs... meh

said by dadkins See Profile :

After I see a movie, I RARELY wish to watch it again.
Kinda like reading a book the second or third time...

Most new movies aren't worth watching anyways.

If there was a realistic pricing scheme, many people would just download the movies. But seeing as the Movie Industry is DRMing the hell out of movie download services(ala Movielink, etc.)... movies have lost their appeal almost all together.

Price for Blue-Ray drives and media will need to drop drastically before it really takes off. But then again, DRM is the killer.
Yeah, I don't watch movies more than a single time. But, my kids do, and they like watching them in the car or at the grandparents. So, for us DVD media is important.

At home, I rip DVDs to xvid and store them on a multimedia server. My kids wirelessly stream the Xvids through a modded Xbox running XBMC.

So, for other than portability reasons, I would say the demise of DVDs is not a big deal.
