Are there any good video stores left locally?
The other day our Life section ran this New York Times story about the DVD eventually going the way of the 8-track tape. Brick and mortar video stores have shut down everywhere as video-on-demand services like Netflix, Amazon and Time Warner become increasingly dominant.
That brings to mind some questions:
Are you ready to give up physical media yet? Will you miss DVD?
Personally, I will, largely because I’m into special features on disc, and those seem to be disappearing unless you have Blu-Ray. I do have that high-def format, but I don’t think it’s at all fair that movie studios hold special features hostage on Blu-Ray - especially if those features can very easily fit on DVD.
How do you rent your movies these days?
I’m mostly a Netflix guy, though I’ve taken the odd trip to Redbox or streamed something from Time Warner.
Finally, are there ANY good indie rental stores in Butler or Warren Counties? Which ones do you miss?
DISC-uss.
