And I get your point. I rent a movie about once per week. I own around 20-30 (?) movies, ones I like to plug in when there's nothing to rent (OFTEN!), and/or half the movies I own are because they were in the "same price (or close) as rental" bin at the local grocery superstore. The rest are movies that I like enough to actually buy.
The thing is for me, once I've seen a movie I rarely want to see it again. There are of course exceptions, but for the most part I'm done. And if I really want to see it again, well, I can always rent it again. :)
I know plenty of people though who:
1 - Are retired so have plenty of time to watch plenty of movies
2 - Like watching movies over and over again
