I don't know if any of you have noticed but I am noticing a new trend in Bluray packaging. They are stacking two discs on top of one another. Pacific Rim and The new Superman movie are a few examples. I know I have some others configured like this as well. They are saving pennies on leaving the insert out to keep the discs in their own separate slot. I baby the hell out of my movies and this drives me crazy. Would you double stack CDs in the same case? I don' think so. I do my best to locate the set with just the feature disc as I never watch the DVD, or special features. Sometimes this is unavoidable. Either way I know it may sound silly, but this really grinds my gears.  |

pop, I agree with you completely. I also baby the hell out of my media and abhor the stupidity of saving a few pennies in this way.
My gears are now worn out too.

I agree. I take out the DVD disc or the digital disc usually and leave only the blueray and 3d movie. I let my kids use the DVD disk or when I lend out my movies to friends and family

It's a good idea just to dump the DVD, but should I ever want to sell them etc. etc. it is incomplete.
Typically I move the Feature disc by itself and stack the DVD on top of the special features.
Simply a cheap move, they are easy to damage. My Indiana Jones Last Crusade disk skips in a spot and I have taken EXTRA special care of that box set.

People still buy discs? : } Hell yes!! I for one like the extras, especially for movies like "Good Ol' Freda" and "20 Feet from Stardom". You get scenes, interviews and myriad other items you will never see normally. Sometimes, the extras are better than the movies. And with everything moving to the cloud, I can see a time when the greed of the moviemakers to eliminate media and only make the movie available online. Now you need Internet access, etc. and will still have to pay a fee. An emphatic Hell No, to that! |

It straight up comes down to quality. Having the disc is just a pure source. I am very much against streaming movies. Besides, I have a library. When I want to watch a movie we get to choose from over 400. We play fun games on how we decide. Typically it takes 20 minutes of going back and forth to figure it out.  |

Just a little tongue&cheek gentalman, I own blurays to. No harm meant. If you like to stream that is your gig. When I tried netflix I found a lot to be missed. Same goes for Directv, I use it to watch sports that is all. Once my promo period goes away I will drop every movie channel but HBO. |

At least Bluray discs are much more robust and can take a better beating than DVDs.

Netflix still ships DVDs and Blurays (with easy-open envelopes to boot).
