Netflix has officially ended its DVD rental service after 25 years, shipping its final DVD on September 29. The company started as a DVD rental company in 1998 and grew its subscriber base to 20 million by 2011. Netflix's DVD rental service offered customers a wide variety of titles and genres to choose from. The closure of the DVD rental service comes nearly a decade after Blockbuster, a former competitor, closed its corporate-owned stores. Netflix now focuses on its popular streaming service, which has approximately 238.4 million paid subscribers worldwide.
