With all of the streaming media boxes (apple TV, roku, etc) and services like iTunes, amazon prime, has the use for a HTPC come and gone?
I know that there will be some that disagree, just to put it out there, I still own one, I have over 1500 movies on it, my music and pictures, but I find that it is easier to just login to amazon prime and watch a tv series or movie that I want. Most of the movies I want to watch now ie, Godzilla, I can rent from iTunes or amazon, and do not have to worry about ripping it, I can watch it on my ipad, or laptop or anywhere I choose.
how many out there really still rip their movies, or in fact actually buy movies anymore?
