False Writer, I'm with you on your choice of obtaining movies. I prefer going to my local electronics store and buying a DVD/Blu-Ray. Like Miss Vicky I also go through Amazon and eBay to get my DVDs. I see movies on cable and have HBO/Cinemax. I watch Turner Classic movies all the time and have a guide that lets me know what to set to DVR. On very rare occasions I will find a movie on YouTube that I've been wanting to see that may not be available on DVD. But I will never use streaming as my only method of watching methods, which all home entertainment experts seem to be sure is the main way of watching movies in the future. And I won't burn movies onto discs.
I'm a creature of habit and I want the whole DVD package: the box with the artwork and info on the front and back cover, the DVD itself with the movie logo on the disc, the extras, with commentary, "making of," bloopers, etc. etc. I want to see it sitting on my media shelf. Still, I know things evolve. When LPs and cassette tapes went by the wayside, I swore I'd never go to CD, but I did. And now, supposedly CDs are a thing of the past. Really? I'm still buying them and will not go to iTunes and download them. I won't walk around or drive with earbuds in my ear. I prefer to pop a CD into my car.
I hate change in entertainment viewing. I'm never getting rid of my DVDs, so I guess if they go bye-bye I'll just watch the ones I have over and over (gotta a fairly big collection). DVDs are perfect...why can't all this tech just exist side-by-side? I know---it's goes along with what the market wants. Still sucks, IMO.
