Title: Do you still purchase DVDs and CDs?
Post by: candyterrius on April 02, 2012, 11:18:24 am
Blu-rays and iTunes or anything similar to that are pretty much the standard nowadays. It seems to me that DVDs and CDs are slowly becoming obsolete like their VHS and cassette tape predecessor. The last time I bought a DVD boxset was probably around 3 years ago. Do you remember when you last bought a DVD or CD?

I seem to not be buying as many as i once did, I guess that its because I have not been interested in recent movies. :'(

Things like this are a luxury I simply cannot afford at this time in my life. It's been a very long time since I last bought a cd. I stick with what I have available & sometimes borrow from a friend or relative if I can. Plus there's always YouTube or Pandora radio for free music listening.  :)

Yes, I still will buy them. I like watching movies at home and when I find one that I really enjoy I like being able to watch it when ever I want. Hope to buy a few dvd's  next month. War horse & Puss in Boots.

DVDs and CDs are not used just for movies and music. Computers and video games use them too.

Honestly, I miss the VHS tapes and cassette tapes, they lasted longer. I don't really buy CD/DVD's because I have netflix and a laptop

Can't remember the last time I bought a DVD or CD.  I get my music from iTunes and my movies/tv shows off of Netflix and HBO.

I was actually given a DVD for my birthday a few weeks ago and decided to sell it on Ebay.  I was mad when it only went for $3.00 (most of which was to cover shipping costs)!!  :(

I haven't gotten a CD in a long time, but I sometimes will get a DVD when it's really cheap.  Mostly sticking to the blu-rays, though.

I still buy kids movies on DVD because my daughter doesn't watch regular tv because of all the stupid commercials and "too old" shows. I once in a while will buy a CD and then sell it on eBay after I import to iTunes.

I don't buy CDs anymore and haven't done so for a good 6 years or so. As to DVDs I still buy them as I don't think I need Blu Ray quality on every movie and if a family member wants to borrow a movie they will not be able to with a Blu Ray (a good majority of my family has still not switched over).

I think the only dvd's anyone buys now-a-days are blue rays. Technology has advanced so much that everything can literally be obtained online. Which makes it so much easier and convenient for people.

Post by: black1304 on October 28, 2012, 07:21:07 pm
I bought several DVDs within the last week, but I work at Family Video, so I'm probably more inclined to buy them than your average Joe.  I only buy movies I really like and know that I will be able to watch multiple times.  I also rarely buy new movies, used are cheaper and still in good shape.

Yes.  We buy them used, if possible.  Can get good used ones on Amazon and eBay.

Post by: kaitsilva on October 30, 2012, 04:57:17 am
I haven't purchased CDs in ages. It's so much easier to download a song to my computer or phone, transfer it to my other devices, and know it's safely stored without the risk of scratches or the like.

Blu-rays are DVDS, just a certain format of DVD, and I do buy those. The picture is much nicer. I'm not on NetFlix or anything, but I'm not against the prospect of streaming movies or TV shows by any means. I do use On Demand for free stuff.

Post by: devilroljin on October 30, 2012, 11:17:32 am
With the advent of streaming services, dvds on the mail and video on demand, in terms of DVDs, its decreased the purchasing aspect of it, however, if I really like the movie I might go out and buy it on sale, but rather get Bluray than DVD instead. In terms of CD's, not really, I don't buy them anymore, unless if it is for supporting a new artist and such; other than that, I rather buy digital downloads, that I can transfer seamlessly between devices and store them in the cloud.

Usually I now watch movies online.  Every once in awhile if I see a movie I really like on sale cheap on DVD, I will buy it.  Mostly, the DVD's I buy are exercise DVDs because I like to work out at home.  Cheaper than joining a gym.  As far as CDs, I hardly ever buy one anymore.

Yes I do. I purchase DVDs more than CDs because I have premium Spotify membership and generally use that for my music listening needs. But if I really, really love a CD I will go out and buy it generally for the car  8)

no I've gone digital
DVD's and CD's take up space and usually cost more money
Digital copies are cheaper, easier to store and more convenient.
Of course going digital can backfire if you lose the place where you store them like your computer.

I don't purchase them anymore, but it has nothing to do with new technology.  Money is tight with my like a lot of people and the economy really isn't showing signs of recovering.  These are some purchases that have been eliminated to halp save money.

I buy DVD's for my boys they're 2 and 5. Sometimes I find a coupon for  specific children's movie and I'll use it to buy a movie for a gift. I love music. I still get cd's from time to time but my husband got me an mp3 player so I get most of my music from the internet.
