TL;DR

Netflix has announced that it will end its DVD-by-mail service on September 29, 2023, marking the end of 25 years of mailing DVDs to members. While the service has declined significantly in recent years, some longtime customers still find value in the DVD option, including for its selection, pricing, and added perks. Netflix's decision to shut down its DVD business could help it better focus resources as it expands into new markets such as gaming and live and interactive content. Some DVD subscribers are hoping that Netflix will sell their individual titles library, while others plan to focus on watching as many DVDs as they can before the service goes away.
