I agree, there are not much new content on DVD coming out these days, which is totally sad. But, not only that, there are so many DVDs that aren't been out there for that long and are already OOP. So, the thinking... Yeah no problem, I'll buy this and get that later... Well, that might not happen I know because there are a few DVDs that aren't available anymore, and I really wanted them (Jazzercise Dance Hiit and Figure 8 Fitness comes to mind right away) . I'm not into streaming either, my computer is not the fastest and my Internet connection can be sometimes a nightmare... Plus, I like to rotate between different instructors, systems, or singles workouts, so DVDs are ideal for that. Also, as you mentioned so much free stuff on youtube, and so much variety, that paying for streaming is not calling my name at all. Also, there are some sites that you paid for having a access to their content "forever"... Really?! If you want me to have access to the content forever, why not let me to download it? And be able to access it without the need to use my bad Internet connection, just saying!

ITA with everything that has been said here. I was in the mood to "treat" myself yesterday and so went to Target to peruse the workout section. NOHTING. All that is there is Jillian Michaels & GAIAM yoga stuff. It makes me so sad. I remember when The FIRM workouts used to be sold in stores!! I would often treat myself to a new one, it was really wonderful!
I have no problem w/ digital w/o's ... but I think that we should have the option of downloading them if we want to. I don't want to, personally, because I don't have enough storage space on my laptop so doing workouts on Purple Player platform works great for me. But I know it's not the same for everyone. Definitely wish things would go back to the way they were, sometimes.

I forget to even look in brick and mortar stores for dvds anymore. I'm happy that KCM and Jessica Smith keep releasing dvds. I have so many workouts that I really do not need any more, though. I miss checking out Mary's "coming soon" page. It seems to be a lot emptier than it used to be. I wrote her about a bunch of yoga dvds from the company that releases Tara Lee's dvds -New Shoot pictures -that are on Amazon. She contacted the company for me to see if she can carry them when they are available.

I don't like streaming because I hate working out from the small screen of a laptop. We have tried several HDMI cables, but neither worked to hook it up to the tv. I don't like downloads for the same reason. I honestly like to have a physical item that I own, and can use on the big screen of our tv. I guess the only good thing about less dvds being released is that I'm spending less money on them....but I'm just using that money for books anyway

I guess I'm lucky that my favorite instructors seem to be creating new dvd content on a fairly consistent basis. (KCM, Jessica Smith and Classical Stretch)
Those three are pretty much enough for me, but I do kind of miss the days when I was mostly excited about our better internet connection because it let me watch new fitness clips without a lot of buffering.
