Are DVDs dead?

DVD on sale at 50% off at London Drugs

 

The DVD section at London Drugs

There is something to be said for owning a physical product and being able to touch it, read the credits etc. (Perhaps one of the reasons that vinyl has made such a comeback.) 

But these days most films are available via one of the many streaming services. And that seems to have led to a decline in the demand for DVDs. But I find this odd. 

As anyone who uses a streaming service will have observed, it is not uncommon for films to drift in and out of availability. Old films are suddenly available, and viewers are also faced with the "Leaving Soon" warning for more recent releases.

If you want to be able to watch a film, you really need to own it in a physical format. So, if you want to flesh out your film library, and be able to watch those titles in the future, this clearance sale at London Drugs may be worth a visit.
