Only if I could own it without the risk of losing ownership.

I don't want strings attached, such as requiring internet access to view films I own. I would want a storage unit that I could view from, and the only streaming I would care about is for downloading movies I buy or streaming ones I rent.

Changing hardware should not make me lose ownership. I want ownership records to be on their end (and hopefully backed up by them multiple times in multiple places).

My fear is a company going out of business and I lose my movie collection.

Still, I'd prefer to own media (solid state would be awesome, as long as it is stable), but the above list is what it would take for me to consider going all streaming.

Heh. Nice way of pointing out the typo. Wouldn't make sense on any other board...

Fixed for real.

I don't like my movies to be 'digitalised', I have no problems with the same for Music and all of my cd's are ripped to the appropriate players, but I still want the CD's because files get deleted, hard drives bust, and it makes a nice display. Movies however for me are a different kind of experience and to have them as a bunch of random 1's and 0's instead of a nice box, vhs, dvd or whatever it might be isnt the same. Kind of like emulation, it's funky for a while but it's not the same for me as playing it properly. It all feels a bit too fake. Personally I wouldn't buy into USB based media, and I won't be with streaming movies until it becomes necessary to do so which is probably inevitable in the long run..

Just pointing out the obvious:
DVDs are "a bunch of 1's and 0's"
