DVD, Netflix
1997-2010
Netflix DVD's were a fine companion for many Friday nights. Seeing Netflix come in my mailbox was always a treat, and having them sit on top of my box was a site of pure joy. Netflix started off simple enough, with modest means, quickly taking over for it's blue cousin, Blockbuster, destroying everything, including its red cousin, Red Box. Netflix DVD passed unexpectedly in the third quarter of 2010. Survived by a loving internet streaming family and hundreds of thousands of fans. Services will be held at a later date.
Pretty good obit, right? It's a gift, really. You may be asking why I am writing an obit for Netflix DVD's. The reason is because for the first time ever, Netflix streaming out sold the DVD counterpart. It's a huge deal because it seems to be a sign of things to come for the company and the industry as a whole.
So, are you contributing to the alarming trend of DVD's being dead? Do you like the streaming or do you think DVD's are alive and well?
