If I wasn't buying DVDs, I'd be renting them for about $3/disc from my favorite local rental shop. My average cost per individual film is about $12; my average cost per season set or film box is $35. I've seen Mulholland Dr, for example, 5 times, so it would have cost me $15 to rent it all those times.
It's easier for season sets - at $3/disc, a one-time viewing of a 6-disc set would have cost me $18 to rent. Discs I watch often underwrite discs I watch less often. The rising tide raises all boats.
