    If I knew they were still doing that, I would have done it more often! I thought they stopped doing DVD-by-mail rentals a decade ago.

    All I can say is: The only reason that I was still subbed to Netflix was the DVD's. There are way better streaming services than them with more than a couple of good shows. They lose the DVD's, they lose my sub.

    I had Netflix when they first started. When they started the DVD delivery service I had it but after a while they started to get away with offering the movies I liked so I canceled them. But now Netflix isn’t even worth keeping or watching at all. Now that they stopped the DVD delivery service permanently no way Netflix. Your prices are ridiculously high and don’t even have any titles worth watching including tv shows to watch. Folks just cancel Netflix as there are better streaming services out there and they are free.

    instead of ending DVD service they should have added a video game service. This is a stupid move.

    The Netflix DVD service was really the best bargain in TV and movie access ten years ago. So, why didn't more people continue their DVD subscriptions? They could have easily combined them with streaming. Sadly, people can be foolish. And lazy. It was easier to stream with a remote control as opposed to walking six feet to load a DVD player. Soon less content will be available and will be scattered in more places, often with a cost somewhere. And the foolish consumers who abandoned DVDs will not even know what they gave up.

      Owning a copy of the Movie/TV series is what we are giving up. There is the option of buying a digital copy but it really the same.🤔

      The one dvd/bluray disc at a time by mail plan was $10. If you switch to Gamefly, it's only $8.95 but they don't have nearly as many movies to choose from so you'll probably have to get other movies from somewhere else.

    This is why I won't be involved in streaming a streaming push to owning nothing but digital that can be taken after you worked for it🎉🎉 Welcome to a founded supported digital owning nothing....😮 I will continue to support Redbox till they are gone! After that I'm out of the business of of caring to own anything non essential in life❤❤

      You only have a limited amount of time to rewatch your DVDs. Plus, when you sell them, they will likely be worth less because they were mass-produced.
