I want to see the movies I love in teh highest resolution possible, in the best format for sound and image.

I want to play them when I want to play them. No muss or fuss.

I don't buy many movies anymore, DVD or BD. I collect mostly foreign, art, classic, rare, indie, ballet, eepra, music, dance. These are things are very rare or beloved favorites I will watch many times. if it's readilt available from Netflic, and I like it but am not passionate about it, I don't buy it.

However, I can assure you that The Searchers frex, is a far superior experience via BD on the HDTV than it is on standard DVD. I have some DVDs that I doubt will ever be on BD. So it's cool to have a machine that converts well. But if I love it, I want to see it in the best possible format. It'll be a while before BD is surpassed on my display.

There's just an awful lot I like to watch not available for download.
