While you may not have the clutter of discs, I still say DVD's or blu-rays give you much more freedom than a digital copy of the film from a website.

Not to be a total d-bag, but you also need a "supported" device to play your blu-rays on your TV. It just happens to be a different type of device.

Anyway, I for one am I big fan of digital copies. I like being able to just pull up a movie without having to get up from the coach (I know, lazy.) Or, when the kids decide that they don't want to watch Lion King, they want to watch something else, it makes for an easy switch.

Then, of course, I have the movies on my iPad so when we travel the kids can be entertained for a period of time.

It may not be the thing for most people here, but I'm a fan. Unfortunately, this news does nothing to help me. I'm too far down the Apple/iTunes ecosystem hole to have this be beneficial for me.

Same here. And now with iTunes movies in the Cloud, it makes the idea of having a digital library much, much more appealing than having a shelf full of discs I may get to...at some point.
