Regarding HDDs, you can by a 1 TB external drive at Best Buy for around $230.

You can buy an internal 1 TB drive for $200. Those prices are going to continue to fall.

 

No country for old men

The place is limited you would have to buy a new one after a while. As for now you'd have to download the movie and that takes alot of time and many people prefers the movie on a disc

Agreed on the downloading part being an obstacle.  As for limited space, I'm guessing most Blu-ray movies consume 25 GB or less.  Assuming that size, you could fit approximately 40 movies on one drive.  That would be close to the size of my entire DVD collection, and to purchase that many movies on Blu-ray would cost approximately $1000 at current prices, so I'm not sure the cost of the HDD would be prohibitive.  And remember HDD prices will continue to fall over time.
