Holdouts of Netflix's DVD-by-mail service are mourning its imminent demise

When Colin McEvoy, a father of two from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and a self-described film fanatic, wants to watch a Bollywood film or an obscure independent movie, he often turns to Netflix – but not its popular streaming service. McEvoy, 39, said he’s been using Netflix’s DVD-by-mail service since 2001, just three years after it launched.

“Our goal has always been to provide the best service for our members, but as the DVD business continues to shrink, that’s going to become increasingly difficult,” co-CEO Ted Sarandos wrote in a blog post this week. Shutting down its DVD business could help Netflix better focus resources as it expands into new markets such as gaming as well as live and interactive content. Its DVD business has also declined significantly in recent years.

An underrated service w a huge back catalog, even w gaps that have developed over time. Not every movie is streaming, but some older/obscure titles are still available on DVD via Netflix. This is a loss for film students & people who appreciate more than blockbusters and sequels.
