Any discs I get are immediately ripped to HDD and then shoved in the

for the disks, fiddling with the player to open its door, putting the
disk in, waiting for it to spin up, being forced to watch the
inevitable logos and "you wouldn't steal a car" bullshit, navigating
menus, watching more trailers and then realizing I didn't want to
actually watch THIS movie but the other one, so I have to repeat the
whole process.

It's pretty rare that we buy DVD's as it's only films/TV series that we want to actually own. If it comes to a choice between watching it on demand or DVD, the DVD wins out as I just like having the physical media and the 'ritual' of playing a DVD instead of just pressing a couple of buttons.
