how sad. I don't do downloads. Not tech savvy and get frustrated if I cannot just pop it in and get started.
Thank you for the info

I don't do downloads either. I was going to try, and even had my nephew set it up so that I could use them. I'd made a list of ones I was going to buy. I changed my mind, though, after trying the free downloads. There are just too many advantages to owning and using DVDs that I'm not willing to give up.
I used to purchase parts of a set (individual DVDs), but I always ended up spending more in the long run, because I would keep adding to it... eventually ending up with most of the set. lol So, what I've done the last few times is I've purchased the entire series, and if there is something that I absolutely will never use (normally because it is too high impact and contains no bonus stretches, abs, etc.), I donate it, because I feel I got my money's worth. I don't sell on e-bay, because I don't have enough to make it worth my while. BUT, if you have other things that you sell, you could sell the one/ones that you aren't going to use. There are other people that don't want the entire set either, and they might be interested in owning the same ones that you don't want in your collection, since everybody's workout goals are different.

yes - over at VideoFitness.com they have a "share the wealth" and people frequently trade workouts with one another for the price of postage. So that's another option. Like @Braille , we haven't always purchased a bundle series in a presale because we weren't interested in particular workouts at that time. But over the years we have acquired pretty much every.single.dvd Cathe has put out and realized that even purchasing through the DailyDeals and other sales, it was often less expensive to get the whole darn thing in the Presale (except this past year with the super discounts on dvds). I don't always (in fact seldom) care for every dvd or workout in a series, but sometimes I end up changng my mind, But that works in both directions. I no longer care for my high impact dvds because, you know, things and bodies change over time.
One other option if you don't care to play downloads on your current setup, is to purchase them & then "burn" them onto a blank DVD. If you currently don't have a "write" dvd player with your computer you can purchase an external one for about $25 from Amazon that connects to your computer through a USB port - then you can have a DVD of the workout. It won't have chapters or premixes though. And you can recycle an old DVD case and print out your own label and put it on your shelf like any DVD. Or you can still purchase blank DVD cases too. Avery has a free template for DVD covercase labels BTW.
It will be interesting to see the direction Cathe/cathedotcom goes in the future as far as selling her workouts. She may continue to sell DVDs as it seems so many of us Cathletes prefer them. I like the chaptering and the premixes on them which downloads don't have. The downloads get short-changed in that regard and they're really not that less expensive when you consider the work you have to do to make them useable for yourself. Streaming is a whole other issue. Seems I'm getting pickier and pickier about certain exercises so I like having the ability to skip through exercises I don't care for or which are contraindicated for my physical conditions, and I like being able to quickly rewind to do those I like - sort of like "blendering" my own workouts.

I want to remind those considering downloads for the first time, that Cathe often has discount codes on the Coupons page. Often 20% off if your purchase is over $20 and sometimes 40% off $40. Lately they had 50% off, and $7 off the cart (which made one LIVE ~$3). So check the coupon page before ordering to get better deals.

I recall Cathe saying that the production of DVDs isn’t something she can promise, but a decision series to series, depending on a lot of factors. I enjoyed DVDs, with premixes and chapters, but DVDs are going the way of VHS. Learning how to get downloads to behave like dvds is challenging. Might be the only option.
