I completely agree with you on rentals (they're obviously more convenient and someone who wants to watch something once isn't really going to care). I would however say that people who like to own their own movies would opt for a hard-copy as opposed to an online purchase of a lower-res digital alternative.

As far as I'm aware (correct me If I'm wrong) iTunes (not AppleTV) carry movies at a lower resolution than DVD (ie. 640x480) According to this page www.apple.com/itunes/store/.

At a price of between $10-$15, I don't think it's worth it unless this price includes a retail copy of the movie.

Actually, torrents will always be first choice for the casual viewer and hard format for the collector.

how does a "DVD" have higher resolution than an itunes movie download? I could understand if you were buying a BlueRay dvd. or a 5 dollar HDDVD. but a regular DVD will not have higher resolution than an itunes download.

Majority of people will always choose convenience (availability/no returning worries/no late charges) to quality (720P vs 1080P the average joe can't tell the difference with more than 10 feet distance between the tv).

If I want a movie release with sub-optimal quality I'm just going to download it a month before it hits the shelves - simple as that. I will however pay for the DVD which offers:

1. A back-up
2. Higher-resolution
3. Extras
4. Animated menu's

because at the end of the day, who wants to pay a similar price for sub-standard crap?.

No one should step foot in Walmart in general.
