Can we collectively stop referring to all of the disc formats as “dvd”? Blu-ray has been around for two decades now, it’s the default format. UHD the even better format. The landscape for physical media is consistently confusing for newcomers and using outdated formats globally isn’t helping.

My Favorite Streaming Service Is a DVD Player and My Library Card

A small, affordable DVD player can be an easy way to make use of once-beloved discs sitting around your apartment.
