Watching a new dvd and the player seems to hang up at a certain spot on the disc. It is also a little noisy in general. It's a little under 3 years old. Is it normal for them to be going into the trash after only a few years?

Good question.
You'd think you could get 10 years out of it with just normal light maintenance, occasional head cleaner and blow job, etc.

People still keep disks in their home?

I have a limited supply, but I like to have blu-rays of really cool movies, like Avengers, The Dark Knight, Avatar, Promethius, and some others, usually audii/visually striking, mainly superhero movies I want to watch in a theatre setting.

I have a large supply, lol. There was a time (not that long ago) where your favorite movies were available on DVD and nowhere else. So you bought the stuff you liked, and storing DVD/Blu-ray discs isn't so there isn't really a good reason to dump them.

It's true, they're worthless except primarily to the owner.
When the cable goes out and nukes are dropping, I'm gonna be glad I can pop in Plains, Trains, and Automobiles, when every other idiot is scrambling to get a good signal.
