Yeah all the time...but as in your case it is obvious that I cannot

Read and THINK before you post!
The operative words are COULD BEAT!
And now ask yourself how many made for TV and made for Cable TV movies
alone are put out each and every year which would be seen first say on
TBS or CBS or TNT (or on one of dozens of other channels) with all the
ads, then it is offered for downloading.
Now ask yourself if it is such an impossibility that if it has good
drawing power (or in this case good Downloading power) could not it
then be released on DVD with all the extras thrown in with it?

How many years has it been since DVD titles have come out (and how long
has it been that DVD players have come down into the same price range
as VCR's) and yet they are still putting out new titles on old obsolete
VHS tape???
And BTW how many people who would want to own the title have computers
or TIVO even? And of course there are people out there for one reason
or another like to own things even though they have already seen and
recorded them.
Heck I have recorded all the Sopranos episodes (and many of them made
for HBO movies and comedy specials) and yet when a boxset comes out
likely as not I will eventually buy it!
