...downloading, stream and on demand services.

I don't own DVDs or BDs unless it's a title I love and will watch over and over. Otherwise I rent it.

But I do confess I like having that library of precious discs in hand and "touchable" for whenever I feel like it. Of course, I've also passed the half century mark.

Pretty much the same, except I'm WAY younger. :) - grantv 14:50:30 02/19/09 (3)
OK, turning 45 this year. :) But I have the same "want the physical item in my hand" attitude. I agree though, that's the future.

  Blueray is too expensive, we buy one SD DVD a month more or less. Netflix direct downloading is the future, we love it.

      I've had this thing for about a year now, and what can I say? It's been terrific. Yes, I wouldn't mind more non US/UK content and more soundtrack options, but browsing is so handy, and sometimes I spend a couple of hours just checking out trailers before finally deciding on something totally off the wall.
      
      I'd guesstimate that:
      
      70% of my annual video fix can be handled by Apple TV
      20% goes to my local independent rental store
      10% (at best) I deem worthy of multiple viewings,and purchase.
