Does anyone still buy them? I was given a Depeche Mode DVD this Christmas and I got another one last year but realised I only ever watch music DVDs and the odd cooking DVD because everything else you can stream. I do everything via Youtube TV so if the internet goes down, out come the music DVDs.

I must have a good 1200 of them in the cupboard which is a shame so I've bought two gigantic cases for them to go in the dining room, it seems a shame to not have them out even if I'm not watching them, even though they're only bought sporadically now that's 25 years of collecting just sat collecting dust.
 
I hope you sharped the edges and went out there vigilantly style to right the wrongs of 2024, before it ends....... ?

They're in boxes in the garage but I'll get round to them eventually. If a new album comes out that I like I buy the CD and vinyl, the car saves the CD into memory which is handy. I don't buy heaps of them though, just ones I really like. Cancelled Spotify what with Youtube but it's nice to have a tangible thing in your hand.

I have one of those Spotify family plans for 20 bucks. but my CDs, some 400 are also boxed up.

we broke out a star wars Blu-ray yesterday as we haven't used our DVD/Blu-ray player in so long.

Yeah we had the family plan but realised we weren't using it. With neither of us commuting into work it was unnecessary. Yeah going through we've got so many nice boxsets I'd forgotten about, the BSG one is pretty sweet and Bruce Lee...and I don't even like martial arts movies. It'll just be nice to have them out after they were in storage for years.

yeah my daughters use it heavily, as do I. the boys don't have cell phones (yet) but imagine they'll also use it quite a bit.
 
Have a bunch, but they only come out during power and internet outages.

Our main go to is the Everybody Loves Raymond complete series, as we watch that show daily on whatever syndication channel is running it.

I don't know if I've got any 4Ks but I lump Bluray in with DVDs, if I started trying to divide them I'd be there for weeks.
I even did them once in alphabetical order when I first moved abroad. That ain't happening again.

I played another sherdogger in online poker and have won over 10K from him in roughly 2 years. This lovely chap is the one who built my entire collection lol
 
I worked at Blockbuster when I was 20 for a bit. So I don't generally buy them but my garage has a hundreds of them in boxes.

I'm a bit of a Clerks nerd so that would have been heaven.
Friday nights weren't Friday nights without take away pizza and a couple of VHS from there.
 
All seasons of the x-files on dvd

lots of movies - but as much as I was against it, I do watch almost everything online nowadays. Just easier.

*Have shit loads of bjj instructional dvds

You've been stock piling ammo, you've definitely assimilated to the American way of life......

When I was a little kid it was the local video stores but around 12 Blockbuster came to my area and most won't away.

But same thing, Friday or Saturday, pizza or Chinese, a movie for the kids and a movie for the parents after the kids went to bed
