We never reallly bought DVD's, typically if we did see movies, we'd just rent the DVD. And, now, we have Netflix.
Got a tip for us?

This is how I buy a good majority of my media on all disk platforms. Used is the way to go.
Yup, of course!
Mostly TV boxsets though, I generally watch films once unless they're really good. Most recent boxsets were Green Wing and the complete Fast Show collection a few weeks ago.
It's just much easier for me to buy a DVD and be able to watch it on the bedroom TV or in the living room, or take it over to a friends house. Plus if I want it on my iTunes all I have to do is load up Mediafork.

i sometimes buy dvds when i am unable to find some odd favorite movie of mine anywhere else, but i do keep a copy of them if the original one gets scratched somehow.
I think the last DVD I bought was in 2006. Since then, I buy from iTunes or DL from other places.
I still have a ten year old Sony DVD player so that should tell you how important DVDs are in my life.

If you're talking Japanese anime TV series, definitely on DVD (only the really recent anime series take full advantage of high-definition video in order to look good on Blu-ray disc).
Exactly. I don't know why more people don't go down that route. You get to own a physical and digital copy of your media; the digital version encoded to whatever quality you want and it's cheaper! Surely its win-win.
