When streaming services came out, I was happy to be rid of my Dvds. As a minimalist by nature I just didn't like things cluttering up my space. But now? I want them back, especially seeing how little control I have with keeping my favourite films and TV shows. I am kinda glad that I never got to getting rid of allll my favourite shows, but now I have to buy a region-free dvd player as they seem like a rare thing now lol.
