The economy is affecting more than just consumer buying habits when it comes to DVD: The vast majority of consumers expect digital copy as a standard DVD option, according to a new report out today from the National Consumers League.
Roughly 90% of consumers surveyed said they want the ability to save movies they buy on DVD to their computer, the same way they do with music on CDs.
Opinion Research Group conducted the survey about DVD expectations, which was taken in March 11-16 with 1,000 consumers ages 18 to 64.
Consumers have already changed their buying habits due to the economic downturn. More than half of those surveyed, 55%, said they purchased fewer DVDs last year, and over the next year, 41% expect to buy even fewer DVDs. Nearly the same number, 40%, said the ability to backup DVDs might convince them to buy more discs and would make their collections more valuable.
