    Are you streaming movies more?

    I realized that after talking to some friends and co-workers that it appears that people I've interacted with are streaming more rather than utilizing discs.
    The only downside is that if they want a title that is not streaming, they will go out and find a Redbox or Indie Video store. If not, buy it online.
    Seems to more for convenience than quality at this point.
    I'm curious of the consensus here. Are you streaming more or it hasn't changed for you.

      I like the idea of Netflix but in Canada it's really impractical. Our big 2 internet providers also have the big cable companies and don't want to loose business so they put a cap on everyone's downloads so if you go over you have to pay through the nose. I think we worked it out to 8 movies per month on Netflix would use up most peoples download limit.

      So yeah...I'm stuck with the services provided by my cable company though they do offer the On Demand service which has a good selection of movies and tv shows you can call up instantly.

      Mostly I buy blu rays of anything I really care about.

        I've dabbled in streaming and like having it but a physical copy of a movie in my hand (preferably on blu-ray) is what I still prefer.

        Streaming is great for sampling and checking out movies though.

            I stream a lot. Netflix is great. I have actually drastically cut down on purchasing movies since i got netflix. I do get at least 2 discs a week from them as well. I wish all their movies were on streaming. it would just be easier

              Watch Netflix daily, there was a bit of a war here between them and Brighthouse, but they appear to have goten over it. Brighthouse was limiting bandwidth to the roku players for a couple weeks.

                50/50. I get a DVD every 3 Days from Neflix, plus watch their streaming Videos. If it's something I really want...I buy the Bluray.
