I totally agree, and that's one reason I think physical copies of movies
(optical or otherwise) will still have a place in the market for a while,
despite what people say about optical formats dying off. An internet
connection isn't always reliable, and if you want to watch a movie more than
once, I don't think it makes much sense to repeatedly stream it online, unless
your ISP doesn't have a bandwidth cap. Even if blu-ray dies off, it would be
good to still be able to buy movies on some format you can keep at home,
whether it be a USB flash drive, or a downloadable copy that you can store on a
hard drive etc. I do like the extras that they often put onto blu-ray/DVD,
though. Those are interesting to watch, although I know those provide limited
value to the many people who are busy with families, etc..
