Q: Has anyone else noticed DVD stores seem to be disappearing?
I don't know about the cities where you live, but here in Suzhou, the number of shops around town looks less than half of what it was a few years ago. I know I could download for free, but I'm a collector and like to see the titles sitting on my shelf.

The same happens everywhere,there are few people buying DVD now.
yes..permanent stores are disappearing..but movable and roadside stores are still intact..
think about it why pay rent when you can sell them of a cart on the street, i lived in a small town where a man was walking around selling them to westerners along with fake watches and other things
Yes for sure... its like nobody using floppy disk now... DVD is becoming history... now everyone either downloading pyrated ones... or even buying legally in itunes.. or other online shops...
DVD players will also disappear... its not internet TV.. Video Players etc.. which is straeming from internet or ur computer or ipad or iphone using builtin wi-fi... Apple TV..etc
It's not because Chinese people suddenly decided to respect IP rights, it's becasuse the party has moved online, where they don't have to pay at all. Check out youku, tudou's library of movies, and there are many other websites.
