"I dont get it. Why purchase bulky DVDs when you can download just about anything for FREE (STILL)."
Two reasons:
1.) It's hard for me to find the shows and movies I want with Chinese subtitles on-line.
2.) You save space on your hard drive. I take lots of pictures and already have lots of movies and don't want to waste any more space. I'd rather just have the DVDs.
Also, sometimes when I go to download a movie my mind goes blank but when I go through a shop and can actually see shows and movies I know what I want to see.
