DVD is probably getting toward its obsolescence now. I started collecting them not long after the format launched, so I'm not about to give them all up just yet. But, if I'm interested in watching a movie that I don't know too much about, I'll usually rent a digital copy to watch it once. If I really love it, I'll order the DVD if anyone has it. I never got a BluRay player. I also still have a box of VHS tapes, too. Which reminds me, I have to go return some video tapes.

Thanks for sharing! Not quite, if the movie industry wanted to make DVD's obsolete, they would have done it in 2007 when Netflix debuted the first popular video-on-demand. The year is 2023. DVD's still have their own unique advantages. There are a lot of movies that are difficult to find on the internet or on streaming services. If you are a movie buff, digital media does not have collective values like physical media. -

DVD's only make up about 5% of the movie sales in the most recent statistics available. The entertainment industry has plateaued in net revenue since about 2018, so that means that DVD production is less profitable than it was 5 years ago. At the moment, though, they are still producing millions of DVDs. I'm merely predicting that the medium is likely near the end of its usefulness. It's not out just yet, but it won't be long. For serious collectors, it'll never go away, just like VHS. But for the average consumer, it's likely going to go away in the next 10 years, even more likely within the next 5-6. -

If DVD's only made 5% of the movie sales, it wouldn't be worth making them. For now, DVD sales are declining (due to), streaming services. But once the majority of people who are streaming movies open their eyes, they will realize they are being ripped off by paying for the ridiculous subscriptions. The downloaded movies that you think are yours is an illusion. These streaming companies can choose to take movies or series off at any moment. *Facepalm* -

I agree to the point were DVD's can possibly go obsolete in another 10 years. You said: "DVD is probably getting toward its obsolescence now." Epic fail. LOL

10/25/2023, DVD and Blu-ray movies for me. They sell like hot cakes on Amazon and eBay. I have a family cinema and a hidden storage room that is designed to store all my DVD's/Blu-ray's. I like to hold and look at my collection. This is what true value is, Streaming subscription costs does not interest me.

Personally, I prefer DVDs. I have almost 2000 movies in my bedroom which are all on DVD and I own one Blu-ray in the collection. I like DVDs because if the electricity goes off in the house, I can watch a DVD on my laptop. I have an Amazon Prime account but if anything happens to the internet connection in the house, I can watch my DVD on the DVD player.

Thanks for sharing! I have used Netflix a few years ago. In a way, it was fun to stream movies. Then I canceled my Netflix account, and it resulted that all my downloads were deleted from each and every of my devices. I went with physical media instead. Since you have almost 2000 DVD movies, do you have storage containers, cabinets, DVD wall shelves or etc? -

Most of the DVDs are on wall shelves and the rest on the floor underneath the TV stand -

DVD's look neat on wall shelves. I have Sterilite storage containers for all my DVD's and Blu-ray's. They are hidden away in a hallway storage room. -
