I usually don't like to re-watch movie. I enjoy paying $1.5 for each new blu-ray disk from RedBox I have only one day to watch it, and Optical drive provide quick and easy way to watch the movie. I do have a good collection of my own blu-ray ISO's on my server, and I stores away the original blu-ray disks to preserve it. Since it cost a lot of money, I don't want my kids to destroy it.

I enjoy watching movie with full menu, and ISO is the best way for me to preserve all the original contents....
At this point, optical disk are the 21st century equivalent of VHS...
