   I use streaming, download, DVD AND Blu-ray, if something is worth it, like say a movie or Drama that I really love, I'll always get it on Blu-ray, it's easy to transport, all my friends have one, and they're just better.

   "Physical media isn't going anywhere. If it were to go suddenly, a huge consumer base would die instantly. I really don't know how people can prefer digital media. The process of buying something physical is a lot more rewarding in my opinion, you have an item that you can actually hold, among other things. The only time I find myself buying digital copies over physical copies is when Steam has something insanely cheap. "

   In another few years, when we have fast enough internet speeds to stream 1080p, physical content will be a thing of the past.

   Why would you want to waste time and gas going to a store when it can instantly stream it to your TV? Or, pay LESS than at the store, and download it to your harddrive. Then you dont worry about the disc scratching, getting lost, or not working correctly with your player. Heck, you would no longer need to spend the money for the player.

   Thats a win in my mind. Just look at how great Steam is doing with games.

   Great deal for people who are not tech savvy and like to give money away. Do people still buy movies?

   hello ....

   being a frequent buyer & a member on a US site, i do get region-free blu-ray at good prices, i'm mostly waiting for some IMAX 3D documentaries, while also waiting for a decent 3D TV to be released.

   as for TV series, if smallville would be released in a collector pack for the whole 10 seasons, i may consider, but for sure if they remastered 80s TV series like Airwolf & Knight RIder - I'm IN :P

   cheers!

   The shipping costs sort of make it useless though...

   Any videphile worth her salt will already have the Blu-ray supermaster edition of their fave movies anyway. I know I do. SO it makes this kinda redundant. As someone else alluded too its not vailable outside USA anyway. Plus the shipping costs and the fact you can prolly get a fair few of good movies discounted elsewhere. Documentaries FTW, IMAX Home cinema for the Best. Good try but include Star wars, Term 2 etc LaserDisc versions as well

   That's neat and all, but with everything trending towards streaming I can see Blu-ray being just a neat thing that happened before everyone could live stream their HD media to wherever.

    With that being said, I don't think I'd hold my breath waiting for that promotion.

    Although, Newegg had Blu-Ray drives for 40 bucks in the last Email promo. By the time it clicked for me, they were sold out: [link]
