Though I have DVDs in the hundreds, I am quickly coming to view them the same way I do most books. I buy it, I read it, I get rid of it knowing that if I ever need it again it won't be that hard to reacquire it (whether by repurchase, rental, download, etc.).
I just looked over my movie watching log for the last year. I own approximately 350 DVDs. In the last 15 months I have watched a DVD I own (as opposed to a Netflix rental) four times.
The odds of me needing to watch Buckaroo Banzai without waiting a couple days for it to get here from Netflix (or, if it is available, minutes while waiting for it to download) are essentially nil. And if it is that important I can probably walk across the street to Best Buy and just buy it. But it is still taking up space in my house.
I'm all for the future of "leased access." I don't care if I physically own anything, I just want to know I always have relatively easy access.
