Movies: Buy or Download?

[Captain Gizmo]

So with the internet's ultimate power, we are able to watch movies, without having to go out and buy it. But do you still buy movies or you just download them?

 

[Seki]

Download, 'cos I am a pirate and a cheapskate just like that. The only movies that I buy are the ones that are worth collecting or I really really really like that movie.

but but but you do pay for internet!

I buy because I have a monthly internet cap.

I'll usually download, and if it's exceptionally good, I'll also buy it. Though most of the reason is because I don't actually have a DVD player or (a properly working) DVD drive.

I can honestly say that in the past 10 years, I've owned maybe 5 movies on DVD at most. The past few years all I've done is download or stream movies if I've wanted to watch them, since it's just so convenient, and I tend to watch movies just once, anyway. Before that, I would just rent them from the video store up the street, which has since gone out of business (I do miss renting video games, though).

Pretty much this: it's just like music and psp games with e. I download for my personal use, and then I buy the physical copy of the product if I like it enough and want to show some support. Sometimes I just want to be a fanboy and display the case of the movie/game/music on my shelf, as I continue to use the download copy.

I'm usually download movies only if its really good.

 

[Catalyst.]

My Internet connection is insanely slow, so I don't download movies. If I could, I likely would

 

[SamuJake]

If I really like the movie - I'll buy it, I hate watching episodes or Movies on the computer. It's so much better on TV.

 

[Shiny Celebi]

I watch movies on TV when they go on my TV channels. I dont want to pirate movies so I buy them and will watch them on DVD, but usually, I just watch most movies on my TV, which the cable is paid for.

 

[zoo3891]

If I can't find something on Netflix I'll find some way to see it for a good price, or lack of price.

 

[My Pico]

Download yo because that's what we pirates arrrr~ yo!! No, really I'm paying my bill so there's no reason not to. In case if there's a movie that can't be found on the net I'll just buy it in the DVD shop yo.

 

[Tetrakeet]

Depends, if I'm watching TV my cable subscription will pay for it. That is basically my primary method of on screen entertainment. RARELY I'd go see a movie in a theater, but I only do that maybe every 4 years at most (I'm picky on movies!). Wreck It Ralph was one of those movies..

I'd never buy nor download anything because I tend to never watch anything a second time. I like to use my limited time for new things instead of watching things that I've already seen. ^^;

 

[Gerri Shin]

I tend to prefer to have physical copies of movies that I enjoy, so I buy them in Blu-ray when I can. If I'm not sure I'll like a film, I'll watch it via my brother's Netflix, but If I like it I'll usually buy it.
(besides I find ripping straight from the BD discs to have way better quality than anything downloaded.)

 

[Mononoke Hime]

Download by far is better than buying.

 

[Zapperz]

I download.. never did really buy them.

 

[Satoshi Ookami]

If I can, I buy, but mostly I download because those movies cannot be bought.

 

[Juicy]

It sorta depends. If I'm at home at night and I feel like watching it, then I'll download it. If I'm at the shops and I've been wanting to buy it, I'll buy it. It all depends. For me, it's a matter of convenience.
