“On September 29th, 2023, we will ship out our final red envelope. It has been an honor to share movie nights with you. …We sincerely thank you for joining us on this amazing journey of 25 years.” -The Netflix DVD Team

With Netflix discs closing its doors on the 29th, where will you get your DVD’s, Blu Rays and UHDs?

This raises a few questions for discussion:

  • What services do you use?
  • Whats your experience with any of these services?
  • What do you do with your physical media?

–

I know, I know, yes, its 2023 and people still get physical media. A physical disc can have many advantages over a streaming service, such as:

  • Control Over Content
  • Quality
  • Sound Profiles
  • Extras
  • Back Ups

    Agree! I’ve made a sea shift to optical media whenever easily possible. It’s such a breath of fresh air. Easy, reliable, high quality, not dependent on 15 servers between me and some hard drive in utah. Love grabbing a disc and knowing I’m gonna watch this and not have any dumb issues now or in 10years if I want to watch it again. If you haven’t touched disc in awhile, I urge you to give it a shot; I doubt you will be disappointed.
