That can't be good for dvds
Oh dang, good point. DVDs don't like temperature changes. It'd have to be built like a mini-fridge.
The temp fluctuations, the humidity, the UV, the different gasses and chemicals that charge often outdoors. Also any bugs or mold.

Hooray for physical media! There are enough super common DVDs out there to keep these stocked for a while.
Edit: @negativenull@piefed.world has a great point. DVDs don't take temperature changes well. Maybe movies are better served digitally in this case. What if we made an Internet in a Box or Khan Academy on a Raspberry Pi with added movies that we, um, have permission to distribute over Wi-Fi.

And somewhere Hollywood execs are frothing at the mouth trying to convince us physical media is old and outdated
I would straight-up support them ceasing the production of physical media if they were distributing digital media as DRM free, but unfortunately, that's antithetical to their goals.
They had one in my neighborhood and of course some crack head hood rat stole the whole post from the guys lawn.
"Ah fuck, it's just 14 copies of the Directors Cut of Gigli..."
Score!
i'd watch that, actually. i didn't think that film was nearly as bad as all the hype and media made it out to be.
Gobble, gobble?
It's turkey time!
For an authentic Blockbuster experience they gotta have 50 copies of Dunston Checks In.
they should have put a dvd rewinder in
You guys don't use your fingers? Just poke the hole and spin the disc a few times, works wonders
the dual-layer ones are tricky though...
I have thought of something like that for the Amazon/UPS/USPS/FedEx/DHL/et. al. drivers I see over and over again. Like let them borrow and return books and dvds.
I see them so frequently that I feel like I should be offering bodega services to these people.
How much are the late fees?
"Blockbuster Video! wow what a difference!"
I wonder what the stats are on people that have the tech to play a DVD.
Probably reasonably high still. Consoles still play them, I assume, for now. Also, a lot of people will still have old ones lying around. I do agree the number is probably dropping though, and will go even faster with the next generation of consoles. If you want, you can still find them in thrift stores easily, so anyone who wants one has easy access, but most people can't be bothered anymore.
For pride month someone should fill it with Tyler Perry's Madea series
Oh shit, thats so fuckin cool! ☺️
I dig it! Wish it spreads!
Don't most public libraries have DVDs/BRs/CDs/LPs you can borrow? Or is it just in poor countries where we still use old computers?
They also offer books but people still build little libraries.
