"Like the back of a Volkswagen?"
I agree though, when you have no rush shipping credits, might as well buy something digital.

If digital copies don't have the bonus materials (director commentary, deleted scenes, the making of, etc) that physical copies do, then that's another benefit of owning physical copies.
If you really want to see that movie or title, get a Blu-ray player or even better, a 4K Blu-ray player if you have a 4K TV and rent from Redbox. It is far cheaper than paying for a digital title and much better quality for your viewing experience. And no, I do not work for Redbox. C'mon... digital title cost is about twice the price of renting from Redbox.
Let me tell you that, I come from the BlockBuster era, something these Gen Z don't even understand, do I love the BB idea, believe me, I used to look forward, sometimes we friend just go BB, pick a free popcorn they used to give it on Friday nights I guess, browse through new, old, genre-wise movies and then, rent the newly released movies for 24 hours period. It was a time and era of that, probably those who come from the VHS era might hate the idea of renting movies for 24 hours rather than owning a VHS tape.
I still love the BB idea, it was a fun outing and meeting with friends and browsing movies from the shelves.
Then, came the change of Netflix red envelope, who adapted it, I believe we BB people adapted it the first thing, I remember now instead of going to BB, we used to wait eagerly to go to the mailbox for the Red Envelope with a new movie delivered to our homes, now we don't even have to drive to BB, we eventually killed BB.
Now, came another change of online streaming, where we don't even have to wait for an envelope or mail and return the DVDs, we also used to borrow movies from Libraries at that time.
I still have Blu-ray Player 4K and at least 50-60 Blu-Ray DVDs, but let me tell you I didn't even know when was the last time I pick a DVD put it in the player and watch it.
This is called change and we humans adapt to it.
I am pretty sure if I ask here there might be lots of folks who come from the BB era and they would have loved it too.
So every time a digital movie deal comes in, we don't have to come up with old times for a physical disc-owning topic.
