If I'm going to watch a DVD I don't own, I have to purchase or rent from
SOMEONE, local or otherwise. And if it's a movie I don't love enough to own,
or have never seen, maybe the extras aren't all that important just yet.

And between TCM, FMC, and IFC, my TiVo is always filled with many promising
movies, all in the correct OAR, without commercials.
