The last disc will be shipped on September 29th 2023 after 25 years of service.
After an incredible 25 year run, we’ve made the difficult decision to wind down at the end of September. Our goal has always been to provide the best service for our members, but as the DVD business continues to shrink, that’s going to become increasingly difficult. Making 2023 our Final Season allows us to maintain our quality of service through the last day and go out on a high note.
What’re they gonna do with all those dvds?
People have been asking this since they announced the end of DVDs and Netflix is yet to address it so it feels like they’re probably gonna go to waste, fingers crossed that Netflix can get a bigger write off by donating them than burning them though lol
They will possibly be sold off. In the UK we had postal rental service called LoveFilm, and when it eventually shut down many of the DVDs started appearing in second hand stores. For a whole there were bulk boxes of 100 random discs that were being sold very cheaply.
I don’t find it very likely. All those current Netflix DVD users are also potential customers for the digital subscription. Suddenly all those DVDs floating around for pennies would reduce that number of potential customers, which I believe Netflix doesn’t want.
Where did all the E.T. cartridges go?
Removed by mod
I thought of that too and I realized they must already have a channel to get rid of discs since they would need to dwindle down numbers after a new release is no longer in huge demand, it sounds like they also cull some old releases entirely based on the comments here.
I know GameFly sells their used games directly to consumers, but Netflix must be selling them in bulk to someone since they never do that. Unless they are getting like for rental only discs and have some sort of deal with studios where they have to return/discard them or something.
I imagine at least some will just be kept and pocketed since you can hold on to them as long as you want already.
Yes. We can convert those DVDs to ISO or digital files using ISO file converter.
