Blu Ray>HD Downloads lmao,

 

Why?  I have Dish Network, for example, and their new VOD feature supports the same quality and bitrates as BD in a nifty little 25GB sattelite-based download.  And I don't have to pay $35 for each movie.

I like to have  a case to look at and smell when i unwrap the package :)

 

i prefer the convience of portability.

edit: and before you jump on me about the dish network...i'm refering to DD in general.  I could buy a CD but even if i did i would just convert it to mp3, throw it onto my computer and ipod and never look at the casing again.  that's the convience i want with my movies as well and why i'm a firm supporter of DD.  i don't hate HD...i hate discs because the lack of computerized search functions (a big deal when you have 400 dvds like i do) and the issues storing it in my house (again 400 dvds take up a fuck-ton of space).

Could not possibly agree more.  Maybe after I graduate from college, have a house of my own, and have a stable job I'll invest in a mammoth bookshelf to store tons of HD discs on, but until then they just take up too much space. 

I even went so far as to throw out all my 360 game cases, and I just store the discs in a cd case.  It's just too big of a pain in the ass when you have to move all your stuff, all by yourself.
