For now, I love flipping through DVD cases on my library shelf. It makes movies seem more like books to me. And I love having the "value-added content," which often enough delivers some really amazing stuff. On the other hand, I have pretty well fallen all the way overboard as far as ditching physical media for my music. I feel a bit wistful about it, but it's a bridge I've crossed all the same. (I have a random and eclectic selection of physical CDs and LPs, and I'll hang on to those.) As I usually live in apartments, and don't feel I can play music good and loud, I lack any impressive stereo equipment, and thus, I'm (more or less) content with the lossy files of this current age. I dream sometimes of living in an audiophile home, with no shared walls to disturb others.
I've rented two movies through iTunes, but as I haven't got an HDTV (or the little AppleTV box) I had to watch it on my computer monitor, instead of in my living room theater. That wasn't very satisfying, but eventually, I'll have an actual HDTV and whatever boxes or converter thingies I need. I'm WAY behind on AV tech. (I have a standard def widescreen projection system, which I love, but no cable. Just rabbit ears and my trusty DVD library.)
