I didn't know these machines were still around. I don't watch movies so I wasn't aware people still rent DVDs. I would think streaming is the way to go these days, it's a lot more convenient. This machine was located in a shopping plaza and currently out of order.
That is a rare sight. What's next VHS? 【ツ】
ReplyDeleteAnd that doesn't surprise me in this day and age.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen one of those machines in a while. I think most of them have been retired.
ReplyDeleteYes that is something from long ago...
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's out of order because it hasn't been used in years!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a machine like this. But I don't know if in some shops here are any more possibility to rent
ReplyDeleteTime flies too fast.
ReplyDeleteOurs was taken out at our grocery store, but I do see DVDs in stock around the counter. And we still get some checkouts at the library too. Who knew how nostalgic this would be...=)
ReplyDelete...this is a relict of the past.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI have seen these machines in our local Walmart. I have never tried to rent one of the movies. Take care, enjoy your new week!
I still occasionally borrow DVDs from the library. I even still have a working cassette player, but the library retired tapes long ago.
ReplyDeleteI still prefer physical copies over the idea of streaming.

ReplyDeleteCheers
That’s a new one for me too, Bill.
ReplyDeleteWe have RedBox here and there but most people stream it via Netflix or Hulu or Prime here. Good picture.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have these machines around any more. But I still watch DVDs as well as stream movies. I love movies, but haven't been in a theater in almost two years. They are still not safe places.
ReplyDeleteDVDs... I thought it was a thing of the past. : )
ReplyDeleteI still own some DVDs but haven't played them in years now. Things change so quickly now.
ReplyDeleteA real old-fashioned dinosaur
ReplyDeleteI havent used this machine before but looks very colorful and interesting. This device and this kind of devices should be saved in the special museum.
ReplyDeleteI saw such a machine... in Perth.
ReplyDeleteWe are old, we still buy DVDs...
Se hace extraño, verlas en la actualidad.
ReplyDeleteI know what a DVD is but maybe they are corrupt because it is no longer used :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder how old it is? I remember the days of stocking up ones for weekend amusement.
ReplyDeleteVery good have never seen such a machine
ReplyDeleteWe have something similar called RedBox where we can rent movies from machines like this.
ReplyDeleteWe have a closet of DVDs and are not sure what to do with them all. At least the VCR tapes are gone. I think I found 2 the other day.
ReplyDeleteThere is a machine like that in front of the Dollar General in town and I see people using it.
ReplyDeleteHilariante!
ReplyDeleteBeijinhos, Bill!
Gratidão!

Maybe the out of order sign is an omen for how popular these machines are. I also still see a few around, but have to agree with you that streaming is so much more convenient.
ReplyDeleteBoa noite meu querido amigo. Parabéns pela excelente matéria.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a machine like this.
ReplyDeleteCool photo, Bill!
Even though I've seen video venting rentals I've never used ones. Now it seems like I stream most everything.
ReplyDeleteOh must be out of order due disuse!
ReplyDeleteIn this context, everything evolves at great speed... Have a good week, Bill,
ReplyDelete~~~~
Yup, I'd think a little behind the times there, I somehow doubt it will ever get fixed. We watch movies on streaming occasionally -- even before covid we hadn't been to a movie theater in ages.
ReplyDeleteno... I never seen this kind of machine for long time...
ReplyDeletegreat shot.
Now that you mentioned it Bill, I haven't seen a DVD rental machine in a while. I recall there was one outside a nearby retail pharmacy, but don't recall if it's still there.
ReplyDeleteEu ainda tenho DVD's aqui em casa... mas realmente deixei de ver estas casas...
ReplyDeleteUm precioso achado, que nos remete para um passado... não tão distante ainda...
Gostei da imagem! Um grande abraço!
