This is all very interesting. If one were to use these responses as a proxy, one could conclude that the Blockbuster's and the AMC's of the world will soon be out of business. Obviously some people are still patronizing video rental and movie theatres. If I can put it in a nutshell, it seems the majority on this board choose to buy DVDs for one or more of the following reasons: they are collectors, have young children, feel it's a better value proposition than renting videos or going to the movies. Thoughts?
