Hector Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 This is sad mainly because not every title is available to stream, particularly the indies that typically get looked over the rest of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did that with a VHS copy of Selena at my Blockbuster before they closed lmao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was still a thing? Even when DVD’s were at their peak (2001-2009), I don’t recall this ever being a notable medium. Everyone would just go to any music/video store or superstore and purchase DVD’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosque Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Now I feel old the red dvd envelopes were iconic and led to a first Netflix hype (which of course was overshadowed by their streaming push later) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the last time I visited my folks in the Atlanta area and we went to a random Walmart, I saw one of those machines. Might've been a competitor for all I know, but I feel like it was a Redbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a Gay on ATRL Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Someone i know was still getting these discs until the late 10s I had to tell them to get with the times lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitsouko Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 After my local video rental store/second home closed, I used Netflix to rent DVDs until the early 2010s. Sad to see it go. Physical media isn’t dead but it is basically a niche market at this point, and the enthusiasts and collectors keeping it alive aren’t renting, they’re buying.
