20. I agree, used dvds/blu-rays are wonderful!

I've yet to be disappointed with a bad copy.

I did address the point about "ownership" of digital movies in my earlier post (#8) - but it bears repeating as many people don't realize this when purchasing:

I understand that purchasing a digital copy is not the same as a physical copy and that right to use can be canceled at anytime. For that reason, I have the actual dvd/Blu-ray for most of my movies, but still, would suck to lose the digital availability. Not interested in using other digital services, just won't bother to buy more if they start disappearing from MA.


That said, MA has it's place, and I like using it, as I can bring my collection anywhere. I have purchased some older movies that I have been unable to find (new or used) on dvd/blu-ray. It's not a make or break situation, but I'd hate to lose the movies that I've not [yet] been able to also find physical copies of.
