Why are people still buying DVDs? I just threw in an old movie I only own on DVD and even on my old, shitt, cheap UHD TV it looked so bad, even my gf recognized it. (even, because she doesn't wear her glasses in the evening and always calls me crazy when I complain about the shitty image of the TV)

They're cheap, a lot of (especially older) people bought a DVD player when they upgraded from VHS and haven't felt the need to upgrade again, and a surprising amount if material is still only released on DVD.

I buy them mostly second hand (there are a few reputable online shops for that over here), the price difference between DVD and BD is small (like 5 instead of 7€) But yeah, you are probably right, I remember when every parent bought a DVD player and they all threw out their VCS and just a few years later Bluray was the new thing and they just refused to do the same thing again :D these people are probably still using their dvd players from back then
