As far as buying is concerned. We have it in our heads that buying will save us money in the long run since we'll watch a movie multiple times. For me, I have bought many DVDs, but I usually only watch them once or twice (with some exceptions) ... so that doesn't equate to simply renting the movies. It's just convenient knowing it's there.

For me, I'm not going to buy as many Blu-Ray titles as I did DVD ... especially if I own the movie already. 3D Blu-Rays will be even less. We're getting tired of having "stuff" on our shelves. We don't want movie discs, game discs, music discs, or books collecting dust. We want them all available in one location.

When a service like Netflix gets their streaming service up to 100,000 movie/TV titles ... and in Blu-Ray quality HD, you'll see many more people flocking over to that. We got to pump up our Broadband service first or it won't work.]]>Mar 31st 2010 10:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/survey-says-cables-vod-is-the-big-winner-in-digital-distributio/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/31/survey-says-cables-vod-is-the-big-winner-in-digital-distributio/
We can talk all we want about being "free of discs," but for purchased movies, that is a myth. You still need to store your download somewhere. At this point in the game, that's on a disc; an HDD, but still a disc.

I already own more Blu-rays than DVDs, and am gladly duplicating them due to the incredible jump in quality. Since I am on Netflix, I don't do VOD very often, but there's no doubt instant access to a huge library is a pretty good reason to rent from your CableCo. And then there's ease of use. So it's no surprise VOD is the big winner in the streaming realm.
