    Because there are thousands of options instantly for (roughly) £7 a month depending on the service - rather than paying £10-£20 for one film, and needing to travel to a shop or wait for the DVD to be delivered

        The only thing is that internet costs $40-60 a month, and if you don't insist on Hollywood movies, there are movie packs available at Dollar stores cheap… up to 5 movies for $2.

          I just wait till I can get them in a charity shop for less than £1:00. Although I use both options I do have a collector bug and buying something that I don't actually own doesn't appeal to me.

            The cost adds up quickly if you subscribe to multiple services. I didn't find a single Claude Chabrol film on Netflix Canada, but my favourite torrent site has 5 pages worth.

              With DVDs, you dont have to worry about security issues on your devices like you would with streaming a movie via internet connection.

                The government are not spying on you via Netflix

                  I choose DVD's over streaming because I can't stand the buffering!

                    I've been watching DVDs all day. Internet out over nine hours. Some idiot cut a fiber optic cable I hear.

                      Are DVD’s going to be a thing tho? I’m still sticking with my VHS player. Let’s see how things pan out
