Poke fun all you want but I like getting discs from Netflix

@jack 100% honestly didn’t know you could still get DVDs

@Burk Not surprising, really. I wonder how long it'll last. I hear it's still pretty popular so I'm hoping to have the option for a while. They have something like 100,000 DVDs, compared to around 6,000 streaming movies. That's a lot of movies! :)

@jack @Burk I meant it's still profitable, not popular.

@jack no poking fun from me. i too still like getting rental dvds in the post.

@jack indeed the number of streaming films is low

@jack profit is popular 😀😀

@jack 👴🏻

@devilgate Wow wow wow. Been a long time since I thought about LoveFilm!

@simonwoods 😀 Me too. I started to type that and then had to stop to think. “What was the name of that service?” Took quite a while before it came back to me.

@simonwoods Also I think I learned about it from an early form of @bsag, now of these parts.

@devilgate I still miss Lovefilm. My only issue with them was that about 2 in every 10 DVDs were scratched to blazes and skipped irretrievably just when you got to an exciting bit of the film!

@bsag Lovefilm was a great service. I had better luck overall and rarely got a DVD too scratched to play. There’s a lot to be said for the calmer experience of watching discs.

@jack It really is surprising. Amazon shuttered Lovefilm in Europe two years ago telling us there wasn’t enough interest in discs anymore.

@nibl @devilgate They had a superb range, which was great for us as we love world cinema and independent films as well as big blockbusters.

@bsag @nibl @devilgate another former UK LoveFilm fan here. Great selection and it encouraged us to watch more films than streaming does. Fond memories of ‘backing-up’ badly scratched discs to get to the end of a good movie.

@nibl They still sell DVDs, so I guess they make more from that.
