Do you use DVDs nowadays?

I still use a bunch of dvds, but only because I rebuilt a small collection after getting rid of most of them.

I like to think of them as an insurance policy considering how shitty streaming companies are. I have a 2TB hard drive for digital backup purposes too, but it's still a HDD and I don't trust those moving parts.
 
Seeing how a majority of classic shows are stuck in DVD format, I pretty much have to lol. I do kinda hate the fuzzy image quality in some spots, but seeing how there are some streaming apps that are getting rid of these same shows I just have to get used to it.
 
I'm too broke to pay for a bunch of subscriptions just to watch a couple shows so yeah I do own DVDs. A local thrift store sells them for chum change so I can't resist. I'm surprised about the amount of decent stuff I've found there.

I might finally give into buying a Bluray player because companies like Discotek are releasing absolute gold. Just preordered my copy of Urosukidoji from em!
 
I used to have a reasonably sized DVD collection, but I lost many of them in a storm accident. I've been mostly digital after that.
 
Definitely. I have a sizeable movie collection and many never made it to bluray and even faaaar fewer to streaming.
I also regularly pick up cheap dvds while traveling or in the streets when neighbors throw them away.

I have a few vhs cassettes too but I hesitate to start collecting those as well as they take up way too much space.
 
Mostly movie franchises that I grew up with (Star Wars, LOTR, Indiana Jones, Harry Potter) or some other franchises that I have a soft spot for. The only Blu-ray DVD combo that I own is E.T.
 
Still have some music CDs and a CD player
people still pirate and burn stuff to CDs just for the hell of it from where I live
