I had noticed that rental discs were different than discs for purchase.  It seemed that most of the time, rental discs had a lot fewer extras on them and more ads, so I shied away from buying rental discs.

Yeah, my main concern is owning my media and being able to play it any time I want. I wouldn't mind buying a movie in a DRM-free downloadable format, but I dont't think they do that for movies.  I've bought music that way and don't mind (especially if it's in a lossless format like FLAC - and I can convert it to MP3 myself if I want), and I can make backups of the media in case something happens.
