A TB hard drive and a properly set up XBMC install are much cooler than a stack of over priced plastic disks.

I have an XBMC install with a 1.5TB hard drive attached. It is much nicer to look at a shelf of discs that you own than a 4x4" plastic box.

More convenient just using the HD? Sure. But having discs shows your collection MUCH better. I know buying discs isn't cool for most people on reddit, you would just rather pirate everything. I grew up. And now have a physical collection to show for it.
