Current Events > It's getting REALLY hard to buy DVDs for certain films.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm old-skool, I'm still physical, and mostly used a DVD player, and every so often I want new films, but it's getting to the point where many popular and somewhat popular films don't have DVDs. I mean, they did originally, but the DVDs are now out of print. How should I feel about this? Should I be speaking to someone's manager? Should I just bite the bullet, and get a Blu-Ray player, or, more to the point, start buying digital films?

Especially when it can become material for a Sunhawk topic.

Good. DVDs are extremely outdated and need to die off already. I always face palm when someone only offers a DVD of something in the year 2020. Even standard Blu-rays are outdated these days with the UHD ones having been out for a while.

Why not just get a Blu-ray player? They're pretty cheap these days and will also play your DVD collection.

If you have an Xbox One S or X you can even play 4k Blu-rays

Just buy Blu-rays lol. Or get films the other way and then burn them onto discs

When most of the information in the world becomes digitized and inaccessible, I can bet you that people would pay a fortune for books and DVDs (and they would only be accessible for upper class/elite individuals) because you find things on there that simply are what they are. They contain troves of information that you wouldn't be able to obtain elsewhere. There's no way to alter, censor, flag, or delete a page from a book, or a scene out of a DVD/cassette movie, the same way you can go on Wikipedia and change something millions of people use with a few keystrokes.

I don't personally use DVDs myself, but I'm not against them by any means.
