Uh, what? You can’t get Blu-rays/DVD’s of The Avengers, Battleship, Dark Shadows, or even Hunger Games at this point, even illegally. In fact, I just looked at the top ten movies at the box office and none of them have DVD quality copies available legally or illegally at this point.

Hence, camcorders/telesyncs become the “best” option for some.

Isn’t that one of the signs you may be an alcoholic? 😛
