1.) Physical media is more reliable. It's still there if your hard drive crashes. Some day, when we can reliably rip a Blu-Ray, we'll be able to have our disc, rip it for our media presentation hardware, and be able to enjoy all the benefits of physical media, and still have a backup if something bad happens to our equipment
2.) Higher resolution than currently-offered methods, and better quality (picture and sound)
3.) Special features
4.) Don't have to worry about files being corrupted/accidentally erased
5.) Tangible media experience. Loading up a movie from a physical device presents an experience for some people rather like having a face-to-face conversation with another person vs an IM conversation
6.) Having a physical library to present or show off is important for some

Any other reasons, all you video-philes?

Holy schneikees! I just got the pricing from Urban Outfitters:

PRICE: $189.00 for the camera and $24.00 for the packs of film.

Is it *really* worth it for an obsolete camera?

Uhmm... these aren't going to be sold until the 28th. That's NEXT Friday. Has anyone heard otherwise?

I live in Portland, which is where this film was produced. So, I should have a leg-up, no? (no, probably not) :) hehe

Bingo.

I never win these things, but, I suppose you can't win if you don't post! :)

Comment. :)
