My cup/house runneth over with physical movies. They just take up too much space. That's my reason. Not sure about others.

Unfortunately with this content you don't really reap the benefits especially with Atmos! 😕

In general, Amazon prime video supports both on enabled devices and at the highest streaming tier, but I don't see it listed on any titles I checked. They simply say HDR, so I wouldn't count on it

Same two reasons people make most purchasing decisions, cost and convenience.

For media there is a saying, convenience trumps fidelity. People would rather click a button and get acceptable quality than go through the process of getting physical to get a superior experience. It's a bummer but true for many

A couple of the ones I wanted to watch either weren't available on streaming services, or I didn't subscribe to the ones that did have it. I don't want to keep physical copies around.

Trying to figure out the direction this is coming from.

1. You're assuming the other option is to pirate it:

Some people simply don't have the technical know-how or want to invest time into learning. Don't want to risk any legal action, as it is indeed illegal. Quality can also be hit or miss.

2. Another option is to stream it:

You don't own the movie, streaming services rotate their offerings, require a subscription, and don't always have the best quality.

3. People who buy movies should prefer a physical copy

Digital copies are great for portability and backup reasons. A physical copy could be ripped to a digital version, but that takes time and you still would have to store the physical copy somewhere.


Having said all that, as far as I'm aware, you don't ever own the file if you buy from Amazon. You're purchasing a license and there is no way to actually get the file itself and move it between your computers etc...

This part right here is what I am trying to figure out. You don't own it, it's a non-transferable license. I totally get the convenience (my Steam library holds 338 games currently), but to me it feels more cost effective to pay on demand vs. the license as I rarely watch movies more than once or twice. The special ones that I do I buy on 4K Blu-Ray.

Not disrespecting anyone else's choices, it's just something that's been on my mind a lot and figured that this was a good a place as any to ask. Thanks!
