For me, the only upside to buying a dvd vs renting it is that I don't have the hassle of taking it back to the store in time.

Music downloads is a big hit. I don't see the big difference (in concept) in owning a digital copy of a song and owning a digital copy of a movie. If people really wanted to own their discs that much, music downloads wouldn't be a hit.

Edit:

I've quoted this in another thread:
