"On September 29th, 2023, we will ship out our final red envelope. It has been an honor to share movie nights with you. ...We sincerely thank you for joining us on this amazing journey of 25 years." -The Netflix DVD Team

With Netflix discs closing its doors on the 29th, where will you get your DVD's, Blu Rays and UHDs?

This raises a few questions for discussion:

What services do you use?
Whats your experience with any of these services?
What do you do with your physical media?

I know, I know, yes, its 2023 and people still get physical media. A physical disc can have many advantages over a streaming service, such as:

Control Over Content
Quality
Sound Profiles
Extras
Back Ups

Here is a list of popular Rental and Buy services:

Rent:

Buy (New):

Buy (Used):

If you're in the UK Cinema Paridiso is a good service, similar to how lovefilm was back in the day.
