Why ?/  probably for a few reasons .. Streaming is #1  .. Nothing exciting  or overly wanting for #2,

and I guess most new releases of dvd's BD or boring..    would round this out .. 

Only mainly interested in added classics and updated restorations to my own library and I usually add these during the year as they come out ..

For streaming titles such as ..  (what ever).. I would add the title to my data base just so I can add adate of watched to said title .. and if need be add it to my wish list under the 5 orders of wish.

I have always had Video VHS  Movies  or Laser Disc  or DVD  and then Blue Ray under the tree ever year for almost 40 years ...  ( I refuse at this point at my age to  add/ upgrade titles to  4K )

which then leads to know that this or  My  phenomenon is not unique ...

thoughts ?

anyway..  Merry Christmas to all..

Ditto here widescreenforever. Shelf space is becoming a concern for my physical discs. I've ditched over 150 titles in the last 4 months or so. I've been buying digital/HDX/iTunes when they get cheap enough. From bare-bones discs (easy call there) to titles where all of the features on the disc are also available on MA/Vudu/iTunes, I've cleared up a bunch of shelf space. I know it's blasphemy to say such things on a DVD program forum, but I just don't have infinite shelf space. I'll continue to buy things like steelbooks, store exclusives (bonus discs), Criterions, Kino titles and other "niche"/hard-to-find titles. New releases are so readily available and most new titles' bonus features on one program or another (MA/Vudu/iTunes), I just don't see the point in spending the $$ on them.
