Time has changed so much; there was a point where Redbox WAS the easiest way... I still remember Blockbuster Tuesdays - I bought so many DVDs!

I agree - I mentioned my DVD purchasing... I did move away from that media; sold all my DVDS, but I ripped then into high quality media files. I don't mind the non-physical, but its the cloud/streaming that I'm against. I want to own the data else I own nothing... and, owning hard media is still cool for the in-box STUFF.
