I've stopped purchasing DVDs.
While I believe moving-pictures-with-sound will continue as the dominant art form of mankind, and movies the pinnacle expression of that art form, physical digital media kind of just…takes up space. I have Wall*E on my iPhone just a few clicks away, purchased from iTunes. I believe in a decade or less, movies will do the same shtick as mp3s did for CDs.
