there are those of us who haven't bought DVDs in a couple years because everything is available on demand or stored electronically. I haven't bought a physical CD or DVD in at least a year...moving everything to remote storage on a server or locally on a computer/server that is my media station.
I don't like the waste that comes with DVD packaging, to put it bluntly, so I don't really feel bad if that method of distribution goes away. The distribution for media has been totally ridiculous for so long, it is nice to see middlemen getting cut out, prices dropping for the consumer, and less waste material.
So, in a way, I agree with what's being done. I'd rather pay less for the movie/show than pay more for a bloated DVD with the promotional content I can find online. My only regret is missing out on behind-the-scenes footage, but even then there are only certain movies that I care enough to want to watch something like that.
I'm moving DVDs to digital, and putting the physical media into storage. Sadly I have all of these DVD cases that I hope someone from Craigslist can use...
