DVDs are disappearing. Disney, whose brands include Pixar, Lucasfilm, Marvel, Touchstone Pictures and 20th Century Fox, announced last month that it will no longer sell them in Australia. How long until it does the same here?
For Disney, it’s a wise business move if we all sign up to stream through Disney+ instead, as we’ll pay for its content monthly rather than just once. But what if you don’t want to stream, you can’t afford it, or your broadband isn’t up to it?
The answer is to look after your existing DVDs, which may one day be irreplaceable if you lose them or they get damaged.
Keep your DVDs clean
Avoid touching the playing surface of DVDs and be particularly careful with double-sided discs, always holding them at the centre or edge. If aphysically – as long as you do so carefully.
