I both agree and disagree.
When the kind of service you envision comes into existance, I'll be first in line for it. However, there's something to be said about the collector's aspect of buying lots of movies.
I'd honestly say for me the reasons for owning as many movies as I do is split 50/50 between the convenience of having access to a large collection at any time, and the fun of simply owning a large collection and all the collector's activities (cataloguing, organizing, ec.) that comes with it.
I'm suspecting the collector's aspect only comes into play for a minority of movie consumers though, and won't have much of an impact regarding the studio's business decisions.
