Around the office I've been performing informal polling of folks as to their path to content such as movies and television. A lot of the twenty-something have only a streaming service such as Netflix. A few have a Blu-Ray playing device (maybe a PS4) that can play DVDs. Then the older folks, the Boomers or Gen X'rs typically only have a DVD player. Interesting.
Meanwhile my entire collection of DVDs is basically worthless. Season 1 of 'The Sopranos' starts at one penny used on Amazon. Basically deemed to be worthless.
So why is Netflix still in the business of shipping DVDs? The money of course.
Good read here from Bloomberg:
