Are DVD's still worth buying?

You can't stream if the net is down for a day or two, can you?

I still buy DVD's over here personally. Since I do not do a lot of streaming over here on my computers. Besides you can play dvd's on the computer as well when you have a dvd burner built into your laptop or desktop.

I still buy lots of DVDs. I get them used and cheap on amazon. And then I handbrake them and put them in iTunes. I love my Apple TV.

single DVD's in my opinion are not worth buying, but Box sets are so cheap now that i just cant resist! i like having a physical collection of the movies or shows that i like, seem to have a better quality then streaming, especially when you have 3 laptops, 2 PC's and a PS3 using the same connection.

I mainly use Netflix for all my instate watch and DVD viewing. It is very rare me buying a DVD. I also have a bunch of DVD that I already ripped to my computer and I need a way to get rid of my DVDs that are just now collecting dust. For me the only thing that is worth buying would be a 3D Movie on BluRay. Other than that, buying a DVD is pointless. It's like buying a VHS in 2005.

DVDs and Blu-rays are still worth it because if you lose the hard drive with your digital download (iTunes, etc.) movies, you can't get them back, but you can always re-rip DVDs/Blu-rays for personal use

If you watch a ton of movies, then streaming options like Netflix are going to be the right option for you. However, if you only watch a few movies a year, then DVDs are a great choice.

Also, just because you watch movies on DVDs doesn't mean you have to pay full price for them. My local public library has a section of older DVDs that are free to rent. Also, there is a service called RedBox, which offers rentals for $1. Unless you want to watch the DVD over and over and over, renting it is the way to go. Even if you do want to watch it 5 times, 5 x $1 = $5 is going to be cheaper than purchasing the DVD.
