about a third of my collection i didn't previously rent or see in theatres but admit i usually download screeners first to see if it's worth buying, so that makes only 6 of 66 truly blind buys.

that statement is kind of ignorant. anything you watch for the first time is essentially a blind buy.
you can go to the theatres (a blind buy), gamble your money on something that might suck, and watch it only once in a room full of annoying people on a screen that isn't as clear as your 1080p at home. no refund. 2 tickets and snacks: $30+.
you can rent (a blind buy), gamble your money on something that might suck, and watch it once or twice. no refund. new release: $9.
or you can blind buy a disc, gamble your money on something that might suck (of course by the time it's on shelves for purchase helpful reviews are plentiful), watch is as much as you want for years and years to come. if it turns out you don't like it then sell it and recoup some of the cost. 1 blu-ray you like: $25. 1 blu-ray that sucks: $5-10 net (cheaper or on par with renting).
