You're right... very similar tastes and attitudes towards the programming we like (although I never succumbed to buying anime that wasn't at least subtitled in English!).
And yes, as the industry concentrates more and more on their new content, most of which doesn't hold a candle to older content, it gets harder and harder to care about them, and more desireable to go looking for that older content in any medium that's convenient to us.
I've still got a good-sized list of DVD sets I want. Guess what? Very little is of content less than 5 years old. The industry needs to give up on this pointless effort, and concentrate on creating content that's actually compelling enough to watch, much less buy.
