I feel about DVDs the way you feel about streaming. Every time I've been somewhere where someone's shown one in recent memory, the disc has been scratched or dirty and the player starts going berzerk. And half the time there are difficult-to-skip previews and copyright notices.

I'd rather go back to renting VHS tapes than deal with DVDs.

Rural areas often have local thift stores with massive VHS collections. You can buy a tape for, usually, a $1, keep it as long as you want and donate it back if you decide you don't want it taking up space any more.
