The last disc will be shipped on September 29th 2023 after 25 years of service.
After an incredible 25 year run, we’ve made the difficult decision to wind down at the end of September. Our goal has always been to provide the best service for our members, but as the DVD business continues to shrink, that’s going to become increasingly difficult. Making 2023 our Final Season allows us to maintain our quality of service through the last day and go out on a high note.
In my defense, who even has a DVD player these days?
I actually have one, but it’s been stuffed away in the back of a closet for a few years. I have a portable USB optical drive I use to rip them to mp4 and keep in a library on network storage, but it’s not set up to actually play them.
Anyway the library is a hot tip, best place to find DVDs and sometimes ones you can’t find anywhere else. If you have an optical drive you can rip them and keep a copy for posterity.
True that. I’d have to dig out the usb2.0 dvd player that I bought 10 years ago when I realized I didn’t have a dvd player. Bought it, used it once, haven’t seen it since.
Lmao that just reminded me that I have one of those in a box sitting a few feet away from me, covered in dust. I think I bought it when I built my lastest PC 5 years ago since I didn’t add a built in drive. I think I’ve used it once since then.
