I borrow movies sometimes from the library, I've used that first one. (Sometimes you want a DVD of a kid's show instead of streaming it)
Also: looking for a phone, any phone in our house has happened.
Why would you want a DVD over streaming it?
Not everything is available on streaming. Even things that are available might not be on the services they have subscribed to. Also, while DVDs often have a "play all" option, you can typically play a single episode, and it will stop when it's over, which is pretty useful for helping to limit how long the kids are watching TV.
