I even don't wanna vote in this poll as I find the "buy dvds" and "download movies" two very extremely different things which can not be compared at all. Even the title brings a big EEEK to me. Buying DVDs is not the same as downloading illegal stuff, in any way...

As for the going to the cinema, the prizes here (see flag
) are very cheap already, you can't buy a dvd from that (or even be bothered to d/l a very crappy copy).
I useually only go the the cinema for the movies which you 'need' to see on the big screen to get the full effect and experience. Viewing a normal thriller (even if it is a so called blockbuster) in the cinema is a total waste of money (even with the low rates here) in my opinion. You can just as well watch that on tv in stereo.
I buy a lot of dvds on a very regular basis.

I can relate to that a bit.
When I go to the cinema to view an 'epic' movie I usually go in the last days it is screened. Reason being, you don't get destracted from the massive amount of people oooh'ing and boo'ing, that couple behind you who find eachothers ears and nostrils more interesting, that little girl in front of you crunching on some chips 'n cookies, that dude next to you who can't sit still and goes to the toilet every 5 minutes, etc...
The best movie experiences I've had were the ones where I was more or less alone (together with no more than 10 people) in the room. You are really sucked into it then, and you don't get a strange look when you stay in your seat to view the end titles...
