Not trolling: what do you use DVDs for on a weekly basis? I haven't had a DVD-playing device in a few years, and it's been a problem exactly once, when I needed to get some photos from an archival DVD. Never use them at work.
I can't answer for RHSeeger, but I like to watch movies on DVD, because the streaming options (particularly Netflix) are so horrible.
I ripped my DVD collection years ago, internal storage is so cheap it makes no sense to keep around spinning discs and drives to read them.
Redbox is still cheaper and better selection than pay-per-view or any streaming service, even if artificially inconvenient. (so i can then rip the dvd from my drive > usb stick > roku 3)
