When they are $30 a movie on sale? No thanks.

I'm still trying to figure out how people arrive at the conclusion that it is more convenient and efficient to drive down to the video store, pick a movie out only to have the old lady reject it, pick another movie out, wait in line for the indignant cashier, drive through traffic back home again, watch the movie, drive back to the store to return it, yada yada yada. That's better than picking a movie out on Xbox, for instance, and waiting 60 seconds while it streams enough of the movie to start watching?
