    The only thing I've seen is these DVD rental kisoks where you can rent DVDs from a vending machine I've seen them in my local supervalue.

    The old wan who has a corner shop in my mum's village still has a collection of dvds for rent. But the newest one is about 10 years old.

    Vinyl records are actually still selling pretty well in the UK not sure about Ireland but I don't think they will be dieing anytime soon.

    Nostalgia for an inferior digital product is an odd one.

    Seriously what is sentimental about the likes of Xtravision, ripping people off for years.

    An easier solution is nowadays and despite what people say here, decent broadband is available to most people.
