Does anyone still watch DVDs?
All the time. It's mine, I own it, no one can rotate it out of availability like the streaming services do ALLthe time, and it obviously still works despite not having a Internet connection. More on reddit.com

Anybody still have their DVD collections?
I spent years converting every DVD I own into a digital file using Handbrake. Legally I’m allowed to make backups of the media I own as long as I keep the actual DVDs. Now those are on a NAS connected to my media center computer and the physical DVDs are in to large boxes in the storage room inside my house More on reddit.com

When Streaming Won’t Cut It and You Need the DVD - The New York Times
July 13, 2025 - In the last decade or two, the story of physical copies of movies and television has been overwhelmingly one of decline. Blockbuster is essentially gone, streaming is ascendant, Netflix no longer sends DVDs through the mail, and Best Buy no longer stocks them in its stores.

r/GenX on Reddit: What were the first CD's and DVD's you ever bought?
1 week ago -

As a teenager, I was a music junkie. I couldn't go by a record store without going in and looking for new music. Drove my GF's crazy. Eventually got a CD player, and the first one I bought was Tom Petty's Full Moon Fever.

DVD's obviously came a decade later. I had just moved cross country, bought my first DVD player, and the first movie I bought was The Matrix, so I could watch the lobby shootout 10 or 15 times.

Do you remember the first CD's and DVD's you bought? What were they? Do people remember these types of things or am I just weird? 😆
