Does Netflix make DVDs not as important?
 

Now that every season of PR is on Netflix, does it make having PR DVDs less of an important issue? I mean in the digital age a lot of things are available through streaming. Without the trouble of having to buy and take care of DVDs. With every season of PR on Netflix is arguably better then having DVDs.

I'm actually still in favor of them producing boxed sets ( makes too much business sense not to and still will be attractive to collectors. But I felt this was an interesting discussion.

No, it doesn't. I still feel the release of every episode on DVD is very important. Not every fan can access Netflix not to mention the fact that Netflix is just an American company.

Re: Does Netflix make DVDs not as important?
 

Indeed there's still things I would buy DVDs for like deleted scenes, commentary, etc.

Re: Does Netflix make DVDs not as important?
 

Definitely. It would be awesome to get commentaries as well as all deleted scenes. Not to mention bloopers and footage that was shot that we didn't get. Also it would be a great way to release the uncut Zyu2 footage as well provided they can even find it.

The ONLY time I get digital copies is when it comes free for buying the Bluray/DVD.

I will never pay for a digital copy, digital copies are free and will always be free in this house.

If they want my money they better damn well be prepared to actually spend some money themselves.

Indeed. I agree with you, Kamen Rider Decade. I would never buy a digital episode either. In order to get my money or in some cases my family's money, they'll need to release seasonal DVD boxsets with special features. Granted I'll probably end up buying the seasonal boxsets regardless but it would be a better option for Saban Brands to release seasonal DVD boxsets of every season with bonus features on them such as deleted scenes, commentaries with cast and/or crew as well as the uncut Zyu2 footage as well as possibly the uncut Zyu 1.5 footage.

The world is going towards streaming though. Its quite possible that pay streaming services will one day replace cable and DVDs/Bluerays. Its already starting to replace cable for some people.

Re: Does Netflix make DVDs not as important?
 

If that happens they will never get a penny from me ever again. I will pirate it from that point on.

Re: Does Netflix make DVDs not as important?
 

Its a business, they are going to do what they can to make money. I don't think streaming needs to be free.

Re: Does Netflix make DVDs not as important?
 

If they want my money they will give it to me the way I want it, otherwise I will get it whatever way I feel like for free regardless of it being legal.

Then they shouldn't have established that streaming nor digital copy is free from the get go then.

Re: Does Netflix make DVDs not as important?
 

When did they establish that? If you are talking about the pirated downloads people have provided, that is not something the companies approved of.

Re: Does Netflix make DVDs not as important?
 

The industry themselves established it legally.
Every tv station that streams their shows online.
Every digital download in dvd/blu-rays we buy.

All of which was established before Netflix started streaming, Amazon started selling, iTunes started selling.

Only a moron pays for something they have been getting for free, but look at the bottled water industry, nothing but morons in the world.

Re: Does Netflix make DVDs not as important?
 

I don't consider DVD downloads free. You still have to buy the DVD to get them. Netflix allows you to have access to all kinds of content without having to worry about collecting DVDs. I'm not saying you have to get it. Its a personal choice. I just believe streaming is only going to get bigger.

I'll give you the free sites that stream. I could see a lot of that continuing to be Free.

Re: Does Netflix make DVDs not as important?
 

See I don't care about the medium so much as the content like deleted scenes, and commentary is there.

Like if they found some way to make that available either on Netflix or some other service I wouldn't mind paying.

Otherwise I'd rather just have DVDs

Re: Does Netflix make DVDs not as important?
 

Deleted Scenes and commentary are one of the things that make DVDs and Blue Rays still worth it. But I'm not sure if the PR DVDs will have much of that.

Re: Does Netflix make DVDs not as important?
 

For me, it's enough that the DVD/Bluereay releases are full season box sets and that the episodes are uncut on them. Maybe some raw behind the scenes stuff from MMPR S3/Zeo/Turbo/Space or from any other season here and there as a bonus track to each respective DVD/Blueray, but for me the episodes are more important as behind the scenes is just an add-on for me...

If they can do that, I'm buyng my copies of all seasons, including the first two movies on DVD.

But what I'd really like to see is some soundtracks re-created along with the instrumental versions of them in a CD release or something like that (like the Tenga Bye Bye song from MMPR S3, Fight from MMPR S2, and so on).
