Indeed. I still get people asking me "who buys discs anymore?" and of course the answer is "anyone who wants access to their purchased media any time they want."
Thanks for the heads-up. I might be willing to give Hulu another try now that they have a commercial-free version.
There's the OCDciness to consider. A disjoint collection is horrible. Video and DVD living side by side as if they're not all one vidi moment from a race war.
Skip ahead to now and your Blurays have to coexist with the spectral Hindenburging presence semi presence of streamed movies that may or may not still be in your Smart TV's temp cache.
As far as your dinner guests are concerned, you have nothing.
There is no proof that you have the taste to buy the right media or the wealth to afford the most recent expansion of the media epitome in the most delux platnum edition.
You might as well be poor.

On the flip side, if you're well adjusted & subscribe to Netflix, you can live just like a richman without being such a douche about it.
I has 'Man of Steel' selected to watch on Aussie Netflix- went to watch it- all gone! Really annoying.
When Netflix is going to pull a show from streaming, they'll generally post a notice of that on your queue a month or two ahead of time. That's prompted a couple of binge-watches from me, to finally get around to watching shows before they were pulled.
Yes, I've been 'warned off' the movie several times (which is why I've never seen it) but I actually found the scene in the 'Batman v. Superman' trailer where Bruce Wayne is watching a fight that occurred in MoS very interesting, so I thought I should watch MoS to understand the context of that event.
He doesn't die in the end, and the movie's great. People like JWPlatt are just too stuck in the past sucking off of the teat of the Donnerverse Superman movies, which were great back in the past but don't work now (and I say this as a boy who loved the Richard Donner movies way back when in the 70's and 80's.)
What you needed to know.

Shit, did I forget my sarcasm sign again? See my sig. I have the movie, and watched it twice so far, btw. It's good. The protests against the destruction at the end are from people who don't understand it's make-believe, and maybe it's a setup for BvS regarding that very issue, eh? But now you've gone and really spoiled the movie when I didn't. So sad, so sad, when people do that. Oops, if I missed your sarcasm - mea culpa. Or did I?

Or just become distracted for the next ten years and see if the next reboot is worth checking back in for.
1. Most people would have gotten the joke without help. Anyone that didn't was having a bad day.
2. The next-next Superman movie, 6 years from now, is going to be called The Death of Superman, and Doomsday is going to knock his ####ing lights out.
3. Didn't he die for about 30 seconds in the 2006 movie?
Tough. I'm buying my media, dammit.
So after the Studios hypothetically stop selling DVDs... And Blurays, give up completely on physical media, is it then all right finally to buy bootleg DVD's from the back seat of Shady Steve's Pinto?
You are, but not enough other people are. That's why the studios are rapidly embracing the streaming / VOD model -- it's far more lucrative for them to rent you a movie for four bucks per 24 hours than it is to sell you a Blu-ray for $15.
The Movie Studio should pay for the internet that these movies lozenge through the tubes on lube into your house... Using your own internet to get these movies is akin to digging your own grave.

Or sell you a digital SD movie, that stays on their server, for a mere $10 (HD for only $15!) that you will never truly own.
