Yeah, extras are occasionally nice, but they are not high on my priority list.

As for owning, we'll see where that goes. Right now, I can log in to Netflix from anyone's computer and access content for no additional cost. That's a billion times easier, imo, than owning a digital file and burning a DVD. There's also the benefit that if we move from an ownership model to an access model (i.e., instead of buying a disc or a digital file, I'm buying the right to access data over a network), then storage is no longer an issue, nor is worrying about things like lost, stolen, scratched, burned, etc. media. As long as I can log in, I have my content.

It's pretty high on mine.

Also, if I had one box with a hard drive storing all of my media, I would be real nervous unless there was some way to back up all the files. I'd hate to have a roach crawl up in there, short it out, and loose $$$ of music and movies! Sure a DVD can go bad, but short of the house burning down or a robery I'm pretty sure I won't be loosing my collection of hundreds of movies all at once.
