News today, Amazon LoveFilm by Post is to cease operation at the end of October 2017, will this finally spell an end to the DVD & Blu-ray market as we know it?

I for one am extremely unhappy about this move and refuse to use a streaming service instead. I'm old school and still enjoy the look and feel of a dvd or blu-ray in my hands. Most streaming services that I've seen don't include the extras often associated with physical discs. Likewise Amazon estimate that they currently have around 80,000 DVD rentals available in their catalogue compared to around 8,000 streamed titles. With such minimal choice it begs the question "why has streaming become so popular"?
Currently the only DVD rental by post service that I can find in the UK is Cinema Paradiso, unless someone knows of any others?
