Nothing lasts forever... I get the feeling the DVD`s sellers in the area are going to have a tough time this season... not just because of the drop off in visitors, more that technology has moved on.... more and more people now watch new recent movies and old ones through websites ...... such as `rainierland` and one or two similar web sites . Excellent quality,very recent movies, or hundreds of older ones ( all the latest that the DVD` guys acquire ) and free !!!... so who`s going to buy 12 / 15 DVD`s for a tenner ? In fact all one has to do is to go on to google... type in eg `Spectre` the full movie ..... and its up and running ... so end of an era for the DVD guys on the horizon ?

I think Del Boy will keep wheelin' & dealin' in something or other. ;)

For those of us with summer properties equipped with DVD players no internet etc it's still a cheap easy option
-
And for many local folk on minimum wage I'm sure they aren't streaming Netflix
-
Seeing as audio cassettes were only phased out about 5 years ago I think the dvd sellers will be around for a few years yet...
-
Strange how things change though, I've got music in my car, on holiday, in six rooms of the house, and I will never have the need to buy a cd again!

In relatively recent years have spent a small fortune here on DVDs. With the purchase of my new all singing all dancing smart TV box (I may have mentıoned this exciting procurement once or twice before) I can find everything I want and more. The box soon paid for itself.
With Netflix now available in Turkey as well as other sources for watching stuff for free I can see that the market for DVDs will quickly disappear.

Sod it. Thats my cheap presents gone then,.

Still plenty in 3C's shop Anne!!

They're better quality than copies available in my part of the UK and I always get a good deal.
I once mentioned to Senay at the Saturday Market that I couldn't find any proper traditional
Turkish music CDs. A few hours later he called round to my place and gave me 3 fantastic CDs
that he'd burnt off for me, and wouldn't take any money. I still use them in my motor when I need
a Turkey fix.

Yes but Netflix can't offer the not available on DVD yet latest blockbuster, shot from row 17 - including extra content, such as people in the audience getting up to go to the toilet :D

I love the sound of popcorn and a Slush Puppy on a DVD.
-
I do hope the dvd sellers are around for a good while yet...its part of coming to Turkey for us to buy about 30 dvds!
We have saved a small fortune over the years on cinema fees by buying dvds :)

lol yes I have had one or two of those in my time but at least my guy Murat would exchange them for the better quality ones he had done since I purchased and no problem either if for any reason it wouldn't play.

Recently we have watched some films that we brought back last September all good copies except
The rise of the Krays which had the bonus of Arabic subtitles :D
Cobbler- starring Dustin Hoffman -Adam Sandler is worth a look, also -
The Railway man
St Vincent
Trainwreck

Last week I got a copy of Stallones new film Creed, I thought it was brilliant and he deserved his award.
Iv'e just watched a copy of Tarantino's new film Hateful Eight. Lots of blood, lots of violence, and the use
of the N word about 60 times, including by Samuel L Jackson.!! Worth watching but a difficult one to describe.
This morning I got a copy of DiCAPRIO's new film The Revenant. Getting a good write up, i'll watch it tomorrow.
Assistant to dodgy Badger. :)
