I'm done with owning movies. For whatever reason, I bought into the whole owning a movie movement, and after some 200 DVDs on my shelf later, I questioned why I was doing it. It's a sizable investment for items that I rarely watch over and over again. There are the few that I do like to see more than once, but that list is very small.

Netflix changed everything for me. I'd much rather pay a flat monthy fee and just have the movies sent to me, and I can keep them as long as I want.

As far a receiving movies digitally, yeah that does interest me. If only they could somehow mirror the Netflix model.

I have maybe 200 or so titles I've scrounged up over the last seven or eight years, but I haven't bought that many this year. I already have the ones I need. Good stuff comes out very rarely now that I'm "caught up", so to speak..

The movie studios need to make something worth owning first before people will want to buy them.

right now i figure i'm going to just sell off my collection, except for my favorites, even if it only get me 3 bucks a piece because at the end that's still $1000+ in my pocket.]]>Dec 30th 2006 8:17PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/12/29/analysts-predict-declining-dvd-sales-in-2007/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/12/29/analysts-predict-declining-dvd-sales-in-2007/Dec 31st 2006 1:54AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/12/29/analysts-predict-declining-dvd-sales-in-2007/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/12/29/analysts-predict-declining-dvd-sales-in-2007/

Only Hollywood can complain about the influence of DVD rentals and legit downloads on the decline of DVD sales. If they want sales, stop allowing licensing of rentals and downloads. Then, and only then, can you blame piracy for the decline.]]>Dec 31st 2006 8:56AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/12/29/analysts-predict-declining-dvd-sales-in-2007/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/12/29/analysts-predict-declining-dvd-sales-in-2007/Dec 31st 2006 9:58AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/12/29/analysts-predict-declining-dvd-sales-in-2007/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/12/29/analysts-predict-declining-dvd-sales-in-2007/Dec 31st 2006 10:43AM
