I still pay for Netflix DVD's, have since around 2000. The reason that I still do is that a bunch of older TV series that my wife watches aren't available on streaming anywhere, and the dvd's are out of print, so the only way to watch these things is via archive DVD's, like at Netflix.
- toomuchtodo 8y agoCheck out your local library! They won’t have as extensive of a catalog, but they usually have quite a bit of DVDs available.

- stevenwoo 8y agoMy library (Santa Clara County) actually has more than Netflix, this led to me cancelling Netflix DVD's. The main downside is new releases take much longer to become available with the library if one does not sign up as soon as possible for rental. One thing is that out of print DVD's disappear from Netflix quicker than the library - I think people just steal them or they get lost in mail and there's no charge up to a certain point for this loss.
- toomuchtodo 8y agoThis is fantastic news. Very happy to hear your library is serving its local citizens well. Protect your local library folks!
- oppositelock 8y agoOh, I do check out my local library as well. It's no Netflix, though.
