Ako huminto na bumili ng DVDs 2 years ago. I'm into NMT, downloading and file sharing, malaki kasi ang tipid compare to buying orig and pirated DVDs. Saka malaki ang difference ng PQ of DVD and downloaded HD movies. Lagi pa ako updated sa latest episodes ng mga TV series. Matagal lang nga magdownload kasi umaabot ng ilang araw pag HD files, no complains naman. Most of my officemates are into downloading kaya file sharing nalang.
BTW, last January I bought a Pioneer DV-610. Primary reason for buying is for music listening, secondary na lang yung for watching DVDs.
sobrang laki naman talaga ng difference ng downloaded HD file compared sa mabibili mo na orig dvd, kaya it's really worth the wait kahit pa abutin ng days ang isang 1080p na movie file. sometimes much better pa nga sakin ang 720p since na-fill up nya ang screen ng tv.. it's also correct na laging up-to-date kapag online ka palagi, especially for the tv episodes na weekly ang update..i've been downloading movies and tv episodes way, way back even before these NMTs started coming out of the market. i could still remember how it was a pain that kinakailangan ko pa i-burn sa dvd mga downloaded files ko para lang mapanood sa HT since hndi naman na setup pc ko as HTPC. then nagkaron ako ng DVD player na may USB slot, so laking ginhawa, until i learned of these NMTs, kaya ngaun, well organized na mga media files ko.
as for the DVDs, about a couple of years ago pa ako huli bumili ng original dvd, kasi, like the others, i still like to collect some of my fave movies, especially yun mga trilogy na naka box set or singles na naka steel case. kaya nga lang, since sobrang nagenjoy ako sa HD movie files, i'd rather get me one of the BR copy instead of getting me one of those DVDs na di naman sulit sa quality. well i do know a lot of people who are still in to DVDs, but almost all of the people i know would rather get jack sparrow ones. kaya imo, like most of the comments here, DVD (industry) is really dying..
