You and me both. While I have an internet connection, what happens if I'm on my laptop on a plane somewhere that doesn't offer in flight broadband(or I refuse to pay for it as it's ridiculously priced)? Oh, they're sorry I can't watch the movie I paid for? How nice. I don't think so. DVD provides decent quality video and sound with a lot less restrictions. If the industry thinks I'm buying all my movies over again on the new formats, um, they're nuts. This isn't VHS vs DVD we're talking about here. Yes, there is a difference in quality between DVD and HD or BluRay, but, not enough to make me spend tons of money rebuying the movies I already own. I used my 20's building up a big DVD library...I'm not spending my 30's doing the same thing over again...especially on a restricted format. Idiots. They don't see the handwriting on the wall on this one. Those formats will not do nearly as well as DVD did. Probably more like laserdisc. And they deserve it.
