Do you still buy physical DVDs/Boxsets or do you stream everything through Netflix/Lovefilm, or through... the not so legal sites?

If I'm really desperate to watch something I'll usually watch it through the not so.. etc., but because of how ridiculously cheap DVDs are I quite often go looking for a new [physical copy] film to watch.

HBU?

Lovefilm hahahaha what is it 2005 I remember they have free trial DVDs out

No I don't buy DVDs cos I own a computer and Netflix but I suppose I can understand why people might want something physical. Bit weird tho

I will watch errrrr online but I never enjoy it as much as watching an actual DVD on my tv downstairs. I'm not the biggest film fan as it is and I get so distracted watching on my laptop that I usually end up giving up.

DVDs usually for films, and online for TV shows usually.

I only really buy Disney DVDs and TV box sets if I ever really fancy doing that. Otherwise it's all online.

I can't remember the last time I bought a physical DVD. The only time I watch a physical one is if I happen to already own what I want to watch.

I would normally watch movies at the cinema or wait until they come on TV. I only buy DVDs for movies that I really like and want to watch again. I don't have Netfix so thats not an option at the moment, but I have been considering it as Freeview normally doesn't have much on and Sky doesn't have much that I want to watch either.

I bought some more physical DVDs yday - if you have a "That's Entertainment" store near you, I highly recommend you buy from there as opposed to somewhere like HMV because it's way cheaper. There are some DVDs that are marked 6 for £5 in That's Entertainment which is awesome?

I bought The Producers, V for Vendetta & Little Miss Sunshine for £5 total.

So yes if you do still buy physical dvds check out that's entertainment x

I usually will download. However there are some things you can't download. Some DVD sets come with special features, episode descriptions, and a nice looking set (Like the Saw V DVD, you push a button and the saw blade spins). However, if the DVD is just the movie and nothing else, you might as well just download it since you get nothing extra for getting the DVD.

I buy quite a lot of DVDs / blu-rays still, mostly off other people looking for more space (second hand). I usually buy DVDs only if they are not available on iTunes, Google Play or Netflix, or they are cheaper than those sites.

I have netflix but the film choice isn't that good. I used to have tons of dvds but got rid of most when I moved. I collect favourites on blu ray and have a few limited edition steelbooks. The rest I tend to watch on tv and occasionally cinema
