It’s been over 2 years since the start of the PlayStation Network and it has come a long way. I have a lot of PSN games and I’ve rented a couple videos from the PlayStation Store, but I doubt I’ll ever purchase a video. I just like to have a hard copy myself.

I’ve noticed that my thirst for bluray / dvd / downloaded movies has dried up considerably since getting a hi-def PVR and a few no-ads hdtv channels. Suddenly cable is worth watching.
I still buy a movie every couple months but mostly I just schedule a few movies to record and that’s it.
As for PSN I have probably spent the same on PSN games as disc titles. I prefer the PSN games because I don’t have to find a disc, and they are often easier to pick up and play for short periods of time.
