Who would want it? Not even the charity shops take DVDs anymore.

Walmart still sells them

DVD transfers are WIDELY available. And it took many years for tapes to vanish, too. Installed media bases vanish SLOWLY.

The transition from VHS to DVD took place in 2002-2003. DVDs were of course around before that, but were expensive luxury items like Laserdiscs before. The last VHS tape, A History of Violence, was made in 2006.

Best Buy recently decided to stop selling movies on all physical media, including 4K UHD discs.

The thinking being that if the audience for Indiana Jones skewers older there are people out there that still buy dvds. Not everyone upgraded to watching blurays and 4k discs.

Good point. My mother doesn't have a Blu-ray player. She always buys DVDs.

I continually come across people who don't even know what blu ray is. Many people still think DVD is the accepted physical media.

And don't even get me started on 4K...

HMV still sell DVDs. In fact their DVD sales for The Flash (movie) outsold those for the Blu-ray in the UK for the first few weeks.
