The current price point on blu-rays is just too high for me to buy anything but my absolute favorite movies, and dealing with physical media in this day and age is an annoyance. When I can wait a few months and buy a $60 game on Steam for half that price or less, there's no reason why a blu-ray movie should still cost $20 or $30 even years after it's original release
I agree 100%. Like I said the only movies I torrent are ones that I wouldn't normally watch. I was going to make a list of the last few movies I torrented but I can't even remember what they were. It's very very rare for me to torrent.

But it's an option which we should thank since now that there's pretty much no competition for movie rentals, torrenting will continue to keep the VOD services in check.
