Remember when DVD players first came out and they were like $600? lol

I never rent DVD’s anymore. I just order movies through my cable provider. Eventually we’ll probably drop cable and hook our computers up to the tv.

I can’t see myself not using DVDs, I only watch movies on my PC if it’s just me…even then I prefer the bigger screen.

I actually used Netflix once, cancelled it shortly thereafter, it was convenient but bleh..I liked owning the little boxes and pulling them out whenever I desired.

The biggest disappointment for me was the VHS to DVD switch, I have tons of VHS still…I have over a decade of wrestling events recorded on it, some old cartoons, movies, etc…I was truly bummed when it happened. I believe I can still watch them but I don’t see the value anymore, just have them stored in my house in NYC.

Anyhow, I am intrigued though just a tad. I do think, it’ll be some time before it truly replaces DVD love. I wonder if I can use it with my PS3 lol…eh I’ll have to poke around now

Having just organized my dvd collection which is mostly kid/family entertainment, I am not happy thinking this is true. I even have a large number of VHS tapes, again for children, consequently I still own a combo VHS/DVD player and I have another one on standby. I enjoy having these at hand whenever I feel the urge to see one of them. Streaming is very convenient but without the total control and I can’t see that as a total replacement in the next 2 years!

I saw something a few days ago that mentioned Netflix as one of the few reasons people use the USPS anymore, so maybe stamps and envelopes will go with DVDs.

I have netflix streaming on my xbox. It is really handy and the selection is decent but not perfect. I agree that having my own collection of my absolute favorite movies is important to me. Its kind of like the whole Kindle thing too, its just not the same has having a good old book to read. I’m still waiting for them to stream my dinner to me…
