“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

It, quite literally, has everything to do with this.
But keep pretending it doesn’t and like you know better without actually presenting any argument of your own.
I’m sure that will work out for you. /s
You just replied to an argument of my own, nor did you say why it’s wrong. It literally has nothing to do with it, and it still doesn’t. If they sell it, it’s already digitalized. That’s all you need to realize that what you’re saying completely falls flat. Reread that simple comment again, and apparently this one as well.
They’re digitized to very specific formats that are proprietary, and once the devices that play them cease to exist, so does the data contained on them.
Digitizing them into a file format (which if you actually read the initial comment, would have noticed that I specified this) that is open, available, and easily transferable between a multitude of digital devices is a different issue.
EDIT: I went back and bolded it for you, since you seem to struggle with reading comprehension.
elaborate on how these sites sell CDs that are apparently impossible to digitalize as standard video formats, because that doesn’t sound true at all
edit: yeah that’s what I thought, maybe he realized on the third reply he completely misread the entire chain. Blocks me then continues to reply and edit all his comments lol. Very sane and definitely not emotional.
