Just remember that the physical product (discs, amray cases, inserts, wraps, o-sleeves, etc.) cost money to produce (pennies on the dollar for DVD and Blu-ray distributors), but they mark that cost up significantly when selling online or via traditional retail. You actually save yourself money by buying the digital download and burning it to a blank disc. Want artwork? Simply download a high quality JPG and you’re all set.

For Music and Movies under $25 (which excludes most multi-disc boxed-sets and collectors’ items) this would seem to be the way to go for maximizing your own storage space (how many of those amray cases can you fit on a shelf) and attaining a cost savings for your entertainment dollar.
