“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

    TIL nexflix still did disk mailing. I figured it would have been deprecated years ago. I get most of my Blu-rays from Amazon, largely because it’s convienient, and I end up with Amazon gift cards from various people pretty often. Beyond that, Anime Blu-rays are pretty scare elsewhere without insane markup and/or shipping. I also sometimes get them at generic stores like best buy or target, when I just want a major release sold basically everywhere. I don’t rent them because that would be stupid.
