Yes it has, but was it the convenience of typing the name of a movie and streaming it? Or was it the convenience of watching a movie without having to navigate through commercials and menu options designed to ruin the movie experience?
Check all that apply :-)
One thing that absolutely killed DVDs for me was having children. If you ever want to put a movie on for kids, you want to put it on, press play, and watch. Navigating menus and ads just doesn't work for my kids, no way, no how.
I had to handbrake my entire collection of family DVDs. I buy movies through iTunes. A DVD is a pain in the ass if you want to watch a movie with kids.

- noonespecial 16y agoIts even worse in the car. Ever tried to start a Disney movie for a 3 year old while driving? For our own safety, every movie in the car is HandBraked from the original so it starts instantly when inserted. I can just about guarantee that a serious accident has been caused by those damn menus.
- vl 16y agoAren't you concerned that prolonged looking at the movie screen in the moving (and thus vibrating) vehicle will be bad for the kid's eyesight? I personally feel eye strain if I try to watch or read something on my iPhone for too long in a moving car (not so bad on a bus).
