dvds, downloads, or both?

[starlessixisky]

I definitely want to order the new workouts, I just can't decide if I want to order just DVDs, just downloads, or if I just want to buy both!
Any suggestions?
I usually workout at home and have a combination of cathe dvds and downloads for other workouts.
any help is greatly appreciated!

I don't use downloads, so DVDs are my only purchase.

On the Home page, under Blogs: Commercials, there's a whole series of clips featuring DVD's versus Downloads. They might help you make up your mind. I only get DVD's, so I'm no help there.

I'm a dvd person too. I'm not sure what it will take for me to move to downloads. I do like the blender thing, but it's not enough to sway me.

If nothing else, my dvds seem to last forever, but my laptops where I would store the downloads blow up every 5 years or so.

Curious, why would you need both?

Having both gives me the versatility to complete workouts anywhere. In my home with a dvd player, in my dorm room with a laptop, in the gym on an ipod. it allows me to workout anywhere.


thanks for all the input!

Well in that case, I am leaning to downloads only for you. Since downloads can be used for all of your potential scenarios.

For me, I do my dvds in one spot, so dvds work well. But if you need portability, downloads may be best. The only sticking point for me is that I would just need to know the best method for displaying the downloads on my regular tv easily. I would not want to have to do all my workouts from my laptop screen.

Oh and backups of course, I would have to buy a backup/recovery device in case my laptop just completely fries.

One big download bonus is you get to use the Workout Blender to mash up any workouts you have on download.

I am a dvd only gal.. I have had too many computers crash on me...and then I wonder where I would be then? Up a creek with no workouts!

I've had external hard-drives become corrupted and quit on me also...so if I were going to order downloads, I would back them up on an internet storage site like the "Cloud" storage they offer on Amazon. But then you're stuck with fees..so it would probably only be beneficial if you have many other computer files you also want to protect. Right now, I think the biggest benefit to the downloads to me would be the 'instant gratification' of having them right away but..since the new pre-order has a wait anyways..I decided to go with DVDs. I do have a cord that goes from iPod/iPad to the TV..so I may move to downloads in the future.
