Buying a tangible format like DVD means that as technologies advance, you will still have an archival format of the film. Think back on VCRs. Emerging in the 1970s, these machines still play VHS tapes today. No matter what happens to your computer (average life span = 3 years), a DVD disc will still be playable on a DVD player. And as new High Definition DVD formats come into being, the new machines will be backwards-compatible with today ‘s generation of DVDs, ensuring seamless playback. At present, movie downloads are slow and they take up a lot of space on a computer hard drive. DVDs are much easier to use and collect.
