Our Internet is also piss-poor, so streaming generally is not an option.

I'm in Adelaide and the two stores near me have disappeared and maybe one person that I know out of dozens and dozens would ever hire a DVD.

GP comment does resonate with me though; it's kind of sad that we've lost that. It's likely caused by having a single browsing device/screen.
