I still see DVDs and Blu-Ray discs at the store, I even buy some. On the other hand I recently bought a VHS deck for $15 from the local "reuse center" where you can buy (not rent) the tapes for 50 cents.

DVDs are great and I still buy them. Just the other day I wanted an award-winning movie and it cost $15 to rent online or $20 to buy.

The DVD was $3 for rent at Redbox and $1 more to keep the disc. Free to loan to friends and no platform lock.
