Netflix, which is now known predominantly as a streaming service giant, is shutting down its original business plan. The company has announced that it will officially be winding down its DVD rental service.
There’s no dramatic reason behind the change, with the decision coming from a shrinking demand for physical rentals. The company says that it has become “increasingly difficult” to offer quality service that meets Netflix’s standards.
Netflix broke into the DVD mailing market all the way back in 1998 and since then has managed to mail over 5.2 billion movies to nearly 40 million customers. It wasn’t until 2007 that Netflix jumped on the on-demand video streaming trend and by 2009, it was the company’s preferred offering. However, the company didn’t offer this service in Canada.
By 2016, with Netflix already well into producing Netflix Original content, the company moved the mailed rentals to DVD.com and began to offload the mailing operations. This included the move to stop mailing DVDs on Saturdays.
The decision could also be a way of rejuvenating what has been a slow start to the year for Netflix, with the first quarter showing low profits and modest subscriber growth. By ditching DVD mailing, Netflix could cut some costs, even if it’s not enough to make any drastic changes.
Netflix’s last movie discs will be shipping out on September 29th, 2023. After that, those looking for physical movie rentals will have to make a run for the nearest Redbox kiosk.

Speaking of Advance Wars 1+2‘s campaign, you can play Black Hole Rising immediately, but it makes sense to finish the original Advance Wars first given the two games’ stories connection. While both Advance Wars titles feature mostly the same style of missions, including removing all enemies from the field or capturing bases, Advance Wars 2 adds a few more variables to the mix, including Missile Silos, Pipelines and a new unit that can attack land and naval units called Neotanks.
The visual upgrade feature in Reboot Camp brings a welcome coat of fresh paint to the series, which is a good thing given the original titles’ pixelated visuals haven’t aged that well, especially when compared to modern pixel art. Units look clean, skirmishes are quick and concise with unique effects, and the animations that appear when CO’s use their Powers feel like they’re directly pulled from an Advance Wars anime.
Overall, despite its shortcomings, Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp is a solid remake of the classic turn-based strategy series. I’m hoping that if the game is successful, a true successor to 
You can’t use just any drive to upgrade the PS5’s internal storage; it requires a NVMe SSD (Non-Volatile Memory Express Solid-State Drive). This high-performance storage device is designed for use in computing systems like the PS5, PC and beyond.
Sony has kept the choices a little wider when it comes to the brand and make you can purchase for the console. There is no proprietary hardware 
To access the SSD slot, 
Use a Philips Screwdriver to unscrew and lift away the cover. Be careful not to strip the screw and make sure you are using the correct size tool. If the screwdriver isn’t turning the screw, double-check the size. Once the screw is removed, put it aside and be very careful not to drop it into any open areas of the PS5’s exposed innards.
Once the cover is removed, you’ll see a green area with five expansion screw holes. Inside this space, you’ll also find another screw which you’ll need to remove along with its spacer.
This screw and spacer combo will secure your SSD in place once it’s been inserted.
Carefully insert the NVMe SSD into the terminal slot, making sure to line up the pins correctly. Gently push the SSD into the connection area at an angled position. Once it’s seated properly, firmly insert it all the way into the port.
Once the NVMe SSD is correctly connected and inserted in the slot, push it down gently and line it up with the empty screw hole, ensuring the hole is aligned with the top of the SSD. Next, place the spacer inside the screw hole that matches up with the top of the drive. Push the SSD flat and tighten the screw gently into the spacer.
Once the screw is securely holding the drive in place, you can replace the grey SSD cover. Carefully slide it into place and use the screw to affix it to the hardware. Once again, don’t over-tighten it to avoid stripping the screw.
Now it’s time to re-attach the PS5 cover back on the console, I found this to be the most difficult part of the process. The trick is to position it away from the top edge of the body and slide it down. You’ll hear a loud “click” when the cover is attached properly. This will likely take a few tries; just be patient and don’t aggressively force it.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed a new SSD into your PS5. Now you can enjoy more space for games and other content.
