Netflix will close its DVD-by-mail business later this year after shipping more than 5.2 billion discs in 25 years.
Many movie buffs and DVD die-hards have clung to the Netflix DVD service even after others decided discs were too cumbersome.
Subscribers say they like the service because Netflix has a bigger catalog of older films than they can find on any streaming platform.
Netflix’s monthly DVD plans range from $9.99 for one disc at a time to $19.99 for three, and they don’t charge for shipping or late returns.
The at-home rental market excluding video-on-demand shrank to $502.4 million in 2022, down 16.7% from the prior year.
