Buying Hardcopy Media (CD & DVD)
I can't believe we all buy these formats. Like cassette and vinyl. Within 5 years CDs and DVDs will be worthless. And besides what will I do with my collection when I die? (At that time they will be REALLY worthless) These formats hold value for maybe 10 years until the next technology is adopted. Remember cassettes?, as soon as CDs came along we all brought our favourites cassettes in CD format. When VHS came along the same thing happened. So get ready to start your movie collections again when Blu-Ray or HD-DVD is adopted.
So after 10 years of buying media, no more for me. I'll never get my money back, I don't like that idea. Time to make proper investments. Currently the way I see it, I can get all the media I need for free the way I want it. So rip all your CDs and backup all your DVDs to DVD-R and sell your collections before they are worthless. Then if you desire, you can use that money to buy all the remastered Blu-Ray editions of your favourite movies.
Just a thought :)

But what about when the Blu-Ray and HD-DVD gets outdated because something even better has been invented? If you think like that, with the way new technology is developing today you'll end up just waiting around for the next, much better, version of things to come onto the market...
