    I bump an old thread, you get pissy. I start a new thread instead of bumping the old thread, and you get pissy. I'm starting to see a pattern here.

    Best buy still sells DVDs? I have not bought a DVD in best buy in decades. I don't even think I have used a DVD in years.

    I have noticed a couple of dead DVDs in my anime collection. I think it depends on the manufacturing of the specific run as I have tried to find used copies and the same issue seems to be present in those particular disks if acquired around the same time. It is why I took to ripping everything a while back. The only problem I have run into is a desire to do a better rip because I have more storage and power to my PC now and chose lower quality in the past because I did it myself.

    The other problem I have is I prefer some dubs of anime to others. I simply do not want a replacement for my Orion Akira dub (yes I like the campy old one) or the old ADV evangelion dubs. So I need to keep my copies as the newer versions are done with the newer actors and translations.

    Even the huge archives of pirating do not always have a copy of some stuff, and if you do have some obscure piece you want it might trickle down because there are few sources for seeding.
