You don't need to subscribe to all the services at once, you can do them one at a time.

This worked for me. I wanted to watch 2 shows on HBO. I signed up for a free trial, watched 2 shows in 2 months, and paid $14.95. Now they don't have anything I want to watch, so I canceled.
Side note: Last night I was in a hotel with hundreds of channels including HBO, and there was nothing to watch, so I watched Netflix, which costs probably less than 10% of what I would pay for the hotel's selection at home.
Back to discs, for me.
A year ago, when I saw how large my friends' collection of Bluerays and DVD's had grown, I thought they were taking things a bit far.
Now, not so much. At least, for content you want to watch more than once.
Since I moved, my local library is a significant drive away. But I've also been meaning to get over there and have a look at the current state of their collection, as well.
I don't need to see the latest thing, right away. So, this will work well, for me.
P.S. My friends have a rather nice viewing set up. And if it's the two of them, that's getting up towards $20 for two tickets to the theater -- for first releases. Invite a couple of friends over to their place, and even with Blueray purchases, they've already saved over the price of tickets. And... no unwanted distractions.
