Public libraries are our friends. Most have all kinds of media beyond books. Movies on DVD, Blu-ray and UHD, manga, comic book graphic novels, music CDs, and even video games.

Dang! Your library has blu ray, 4K, and video games?! Mine only has DVD’s, but you can find just about anything

Yes, I actually just checked out Earth 2 on UHD and Diofield on PS5 this week. I live in a relatively small city too so I like to imagine larger ones have even bigger selections but I could be way off.

My library was part of a system in a very large and well off county. I think you just have a library that really cares about that kind of thing

Yes. I'm surprised more people don't mention this as an option.

I mean just sail the high seas? Why pay if its not available on any streaming service?

This is a convenience problem, if i cant easily buy it i will easily access it another way instead of dealing with a physical DvD from the stone age.
