For the yearly cost of a single streaming service I could buy more DVDs than I could ever watch.
Did you know you can borrow DVDs from the library ... for free.
I would never waste another cent on streaming, the value proposition got flushed down the toilet when every single studio got into the game.
I still have VHS copies of rental DVDs
and a good chunk of my early MP3 collection was from my hometown library.
What? Did you record the rented DVDs on blank tapes or am I misunderstanding?
That does seem to be what they're implying, yes.
