Well, I usually buy the DVDs to see the movies themselves for the first time. I don't use Netflix or any sites where you have to download the movies. I wouldn't get to see the movies if I didn't buy the DVDs.

I think the discs either get their value from bonus features or quality of transfer. Or just for the fact that they came out in the earlier days of DVD releases. '97 - 2000.

And of course, value increases with things like signatures, or if they're released in tin form, Limited Edition.

Other than these things, I'm clueless as to how the discs get their value anyway. Except for perhaps the fact that companies like Anchor Bay apparently can only hold the rights to their movies for 5 years. Then if they don't release another version, some other company gets the rights.

I imagine that makes the discs a little pricier.
