Yeah, I'd download everything if I could. Movies, games, books. I'm moving soon to another country and I don't know what to do with my shelves and shelves of needless physical incarnations of data. And I am careful enough to rent/borrow when I can that I don't even have that much of it compared to many people.

Pretty boxes amount to just collectible merchandise much like posters, action figures, artbooks or pencil boards. That stuff will still exist in a digital world (in fact there will likely be more of it) if you derive pleasure from it. |

Screen is filled with either pure black or pure white, and it can change every 25 seconds. |

| More fundamentally, even if you did have 250Gb to blow on a single movie, I think you might get better quality by using lossy compression and using that gain to increase the resolution to like 4000p, at least if you have a huge monitor. |
