Netflix DVD - The Final Season - About Netflix

After an incredible 25 year run, we’ve decided to wind down DVD.com later this year.

What a bummer. It had to happen eventually I guess. I just returned my last dvd. Not sure how I'm gonna watch the classics or obscure foreign films anymore.

I haven't had Netflix for quite a while but didn't know they were still providing that service. We used to use it all of the time "back in the day".

I had no idea people were still using a DVD by mail service. Wow.

Are those genres not available on the streaming service?

Reminds me of the ole Blockbuster days.

I was reluctant to get back to Netflix when they became the streaming player.

I had a lot of issues with discs not getting to me or back to them - it was pretty common at my place in Philly for many things, like any ESPN mag with a basketball cover.

They weren't fond of my lost in the mail notes and i was fond of being accused of keeping discs

I don't know, maybe. I probably just need to get with the times. It just seems like most films I search for aren't streaming on the platforms I subscribe to (HBO, Netflix, Disney and Prime). I'm not sure whether paying by the movie will work because it usually takes me several days or more to get through a movie.
