I watch the new era of Doctor Who on DVD as I bought them.
There are 19 Marvel movies I want to see this month. Netflix has them on DVD. Also a few DC EU movies I haven't bought.

I'm surprised that anyone would still use DVDs when you have Blu-rays. I don't buy DVDs anymore unless it's not on Blu-ray like with some older anime and obscure horror films.

I'm catching as many movies as possible on DVD before the new ones are Blu exclusive. Hopefully I can finish the MCU line this and next month. All current MCU movies are DVD. Including both Venom movies. Waiting on Suicide Squad re up.

I only buy home video if it's a film/series I really love and/or something I'm gonna watch over and over again. Anything else I'm find just finding on stream or on the internet. Even with digital releases, I still like getting a physical disks

Doctor Who Generation II (Rose - Flux Part 6) is on Netflix. Flux has yet to get on Netflix. (Disk rentals) Stream on this is HBO Max and AMC +
Doctor Who Generation I (An Unearthly Child Parts 1 - 4 - Doctor Who The Movie) is on Brit Box but there are some disk releases for them. In March I want to try to phase them in starting with The Beginning (Story 001 - Story 003). I got delayed for this due to Revolution Of The Daleks and Flux to buy this month.

It is, but not that much cheaper. At this point, I don't see why people buy physical movies aside from for collection purposes. But even then, I don't see why a collector would choose a DVD over other formats. Blu-ray looks better, VHS and laserdisc are rarer and have more vintage appeal, etc. Heck, everything streams in HD these days, so why would somebody pay $20 for a physical edition of something that looks worse than what you can see streaming? I guess people can do what they want, and I'm not trying to shame you or anybody else for collecting DVDS...I just don't get it, I guess.

THIS OMG. I don't understand it.

Takes a long time for somethings to find a streaming service. I only just learned that "Freddy's Nightmares", an '80s series which hasn't had decent home releases ever, will now have a streaming home after all this time. - There isn't a Blu-ray release at the time, which pertains more to out-of-print series and/or movies. The only "official" streaming home is a "free-but-with-ads" model, which can piss-off people who hate ads! Take most older Transformers series. Most are on Tubi and maybe YouTube, which have ads. Best way to circumvent this is a physical release, which will be DVD for most. - The older DVD release looks better than streaming cause someone may have made a mistake when uploading it to a streaming service. - Not all locations have internet access and still rely on physical releases. This also relates to those who have temporarily lost internet access and have to rely on discs. - Streaming depends largely on the service. If on Disney+, then the likelyhood that anything leaves for "rights issues" is unlikely. Anything on Netflix that isn't Netflix-owned could leave at anytime and take an eternity to find a new streaming service! - Portable DVD players are good when the power is out, home internet is down, and phones have a tentative charge. - Physical releases also have special features which aren't always available when looking at the same thing via streaming.

There are varying reasons to commit to a DVD over anything else:
