DVDs are an investment to ME, and only me! I don't buy them for resale value, but only as source of enjoyment, relaxation and health for me. I don't care if I don't get back a penny on a dollar from selling them - twenty years from now. Since I don't sell my dvds anyway, it's a moot point for me, and my health benefits far outweigh the cost.

I'm another one that doesn't trade, but fitness DVDs save me lots of money on health related issues and are cheaper per month at my current purchase rate than a gym membership. They also give me a great deal of pleasure. I'm not looking forward to a streaming future.

I love my dvds too. No streaming and downloads for me thank you.
I don't understand the popularity of downloads. Yes they provide instant gratification than waiting for the dvd to arrive in the post but is the picture quality as good ? And what about chaptering, premixes and music on/off options ? |

yes dvds are for me. i live too far out for even dsl internet so downloading is a no go for me. also I really don't like to purchase stuff like workouts that I can't hold in my hand, it would take too much for me to save the download, keep track of it and hope that I don't lose it if my computer gets a virus.

I hardly trade. I buy fitness DVDs because I enjoy working out at home in front of a large TV. I do not like working out in front of a laptop or a computer monitor. I work out in a 40" TV - actually I would have preferred a larger screen but my workout room is just 130 sq ft so my 40" TV is just the right size. I have some downloaded workouts but I asked someone to download for me because I'm not really computer savvy when it comes to hardware and software. I'm also worried if I download all my workouts on my hard drive, what if my computer gets a virus or my hard drive malfunctions or gets damaged? Anyway, so my friend would either burn it on DVD or copy the workout to USB which I can plug into my TV. I still prefer my good ole DVDs though.

My last external hard drive fried and I lost a LOT of stuff on there. I just don't like having everything electronically stored.
