I understand this impulse but does anyone actually go back and watch these things? I have about 1000 DVD's and Blu-Ray's sitting in their own piece of furniture just taking up space in my house. What a waste of money, space, plastic, and the energy to make and ship them. For the $20 I paid for most of them I could have rented them 4 times each and I don't think I made it to that number of watches on any of them, maybe 1 or 2. There is the risk of them disappearing forever but.....meh.
I do rewatch many of my DVDs and Blu-rays. But part of the value of disks is that they can be used to create a renal library (which can't be done with streaming, due to the fact that the content is only licensed to a given service for a limited time). In fact, I seem to recall a company that got its start by mailing disks out in red envelopes to its members...
The other good thing about DVDs and Blu-Rays is the special features they often include.
