The last disc will be shipped on September 29th 2023 after 25 years of service.
After an incredible 25 year run, we’ve made the difficult decision to wind down at the end of September. Our goal has always been to provide the best service for our members, but as the DVD business continues to shrink, that’s going to become increasingly difficult. Making 2023 our Final Season allows us to maintain our quality of service through the last day and go out on a high note.
What’re they gonna do with all those dvds?
They will possibly be sold off. In the UK we had postal rental service called LoveFilm, and when it eventually shut down many of the DVDs started appearing in second hand stores. For a whole there were bulk boxes of 100 random discs that were being sold very cheaply.
I thought of that too and I realized they must already have a channel to get rid of discs since they would need to dwindle down numbers after a new release is no longer in huge demand, it sounds like they also cull some old releases entirely based on the comments here.
I know GameFly sells their used games directly to consumers, but Netflix must be selling them in bulk to someone since they never do that. Unless they are getting like for rental only discs and have some sort of deal with studios where they have to return/discard them or something.
I imagine at least some will just be kept and pocketed since you can hold on to them as long as you want already.
Yes. We can convert those DVDs to ISO or digital files using ISO file converter.
When Blockbuster shut down, they never made any attempt to collect DVDs that customers had out. That’s how I scored my sweet, sweet copy of the classic Seth Green movie Without a Paddle.
Oh, the timeless classic also featuring Dax Shepard and Matthew Lillard? I’d call that a score, my friend.
If this is a quote from the movie, I have to apologize because I’m honestly not sure if I’ve seen it.
