Rob13 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Probably went out of biz, DVDs is a shrinking market these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helpisgood Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Yes, I have noticed the same thing with DVD market these days. FYI, I used to see four or five DVD stores at KSK, four of which were really cheap with many titles. Of those four, only the one in the basement opposite Tops is still in business that I know of. I am not sure about the less cheaper one. I have happened to see a DVD store on the lowest level at Airport Plaza recently, but they charge a little more than the really cheap ones.

Maybe because they are legal? Any way, we buy all of our DVD's at the shop on the Basement level of Airport Central Plaza. They are legal and there is large inventory.

thai3 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Because even Thais download or look at free film and music sites, have a look at any Mangpong store these days, full of stuff other than DVD and albums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinLOS Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 People still buy DVDs ?? I still have 6 sealed boxes.. 1000s of DVDs.. 50 - 60% legit R1 and R2 DVDs.. Box sets, Special editions.. God knows what that collection cost.. 20 or 30k USD in DVDs at an absolute minimum. I used to have walls full of shelves of the damn things.. Easier to fire up and app, download a HD rip, than it is to find the title you want in the collection. Physical media is dead.. Everything is easier with digital distribution.. anyone want to buy a DVD collection ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberfarang Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 They will all be gone soon Why? Because these days there are many alternatives to watching films on DVDs. CDs and DVDs are rapidly becoming a technology of the past, along with floppy disks and VCR tapes and will soon be assigned into the dustbin of history.

Now, apart from a few collectors boxed editions, I'd struggle to give them away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhonKaenKowboy Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 The difference between DVDs and 8 Track Tapes? The 8 Tracks are worth more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob13 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 The difference between DVDs and 8 Track Tapes? The 8 Tracks are worth more. Not true, you can give me your DVDs, you gotta pay me to take your 8 tracks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uksomchai Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 They will all be gone soon Why? In the exact same way the VHS died a very quick death with the introduction of the DVD I don't own a DVD player and haven't for around 2 years now. The same is happening here in the UK where people are selling huge collections for next to nothing. Now anything I watch is downloaded to my computer and then sent to my TV / Tablet to watch in any room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
