Of course we still buy DVDs

If we missed it in the theaters, OnDemand is how we can see if the DVD is worth purchasing.<br /><br />Really, the only question the studios need to ask is "Is this a good movie people will want to have in their collection?"<br /><br />I think OnDemand should get the new movies at the exact same time as the DVD comes out in stores. That way, you can make more money because you can remind people in the ads that they can also catch it on OnDemand.<br /><br />Then if they go home and watch it and love it, they'll hear the same ad the next day on the radio and this time it'll turn into a DVD sale and you make even more money.
