- ghaff 9y agoUnfortunately they've been letting their back catalog rot away but I still find a minimal DVD subscription to be a good way to watch both brand new and older films.
- stevenwoo 9y agoI'm not sure if it's just me or have there been zero new releases in the DVD section in 2018? Also sometimes I found DVD's on their top 100 list before they show up in the new releases section - like they don't want to have a bunch of people ask to rent a disc if they think it's going to be popular.
- ghaff 9y agoFunnily enough I was just looking at that. Admittedly I've seen a number of the releases coming out about now on planes and the like but there was essentially nothing in the New Releases that I was interested in.
- mrexroad 9y agoNot only the catalog is rotting, but The physical discs have as well. We resubscribed to disc service last year, but have had a surprising number of cracked or heavily scratched discs compared to years ago.
- ghaff 9y agoI expect they're symptoms of the same thing. They keep discs until someone returns them as not readable. Then they chuck them and don't replace them. I can't say I've had a particular problem with bad discs recently but I also have a minimal plan so my sample size is relatively small.
