There are many good but rare films you just can't find on streaming services - I wouldn't blame anyone for establishing and maintaining a disc collection if only for that reason. And then there's the splintering of content across different services with exclusive arrangements, and no guarantee that even movies bought and stored online will remain available due to shifting license arrangements.

DVDs and BluRay purchases may be declining (due to the allure of convenience - read laziness - over quality) but discs still have many years left in them.



If you want to watch movies then yes maybe DVD is better for you.
How many times do you want to watch the same movie or
do you just watch it once and then the DVD becomes junk?


How about channels like this?

You can't get content like that on a DVD -
it's made for Youtube.
