I'm old enough to remember when there was no such thing as a CD and vinyl or tape were your only options to get a full album.

Let's hope vinyl or increased quality isn't just a passing fad. Do movies and TV shows see a big drop in torrenting when they become available on Netflix? I would be curious to see the relationship of torrent popularity and availability on Netflix. Only a subset of movies show up on Netflix, and they typically take a while to get there. Point being: I think this is a sign that the movie industry needs to re-evaluate its pricing and how it reaches consumers. Sorry for the rant, this got away from me. And it's absurd to buy a BD, watch it once, and return it, using Wal-Mart as a pseudo-rental outlet. If I only want to watch it once, I shouldn't have to pay the full price of the discs in stores. I stopped justifying doing both(going to theatres and buying the disc) a long time ago, and now I have a hard time justifying either. Now, watching it once in theatres is equivalent to buying the BD with extra features. I only want to see the movie once, so I'll pay a fraction of the cost of buying it outright to see it in theatres.

It was one thing that back in the day you'd spend $10 on tickets(or less), and the VHS/DVD would cost $20-30, and I could justify that. You spend $9.50 per ticket($19 with your date)($11 for 3D, $22 with date) to see it in theatres, and then they want you to spend $20-25 more to get the DVD or BD. There are a lot of countries that have poor Netflix availability(they have Netflix, but certain movies don't show up).Įven still, I can't blame people for not wanting to buy movies. I'd say Netflix since it's only $8, but I don't know where TPB's traffic is coming from.
