Guys, this is an offer for current DVD subscribers, and you still have to send them back. (The deadline to return DVDs is about a month after they stop shipping them out.) If you win this, you just get 10 more DVDs shipped from your queue.
Netflix was pretty forgiving, actually. You could report if it arrived scratched, and if you mailed it and it didn't show up as received in a reasonable time you could report it. They'd just ask when you mailed it and where, i.e. in your outgoing mail vs. dropped off at the Post Office.
Amazing streaming exists. It's called a plex library.
I shot all the dvds I owned except for a small few. To be fair most of them were used from the video store and a lot of them were garbage. They make good targets though.
That's a pretty enormous caveat. I just don't understand the affectation for physical media when disc rot is a very real phenomenon and modern hard drives are so huge and cheap.
In defense of DVDs going obsolete, I really liked how so many had really fun packaging. Some of them had interesting menus and quality special features you just can't find elsewhere, and many of those just get nuked on sight when uploaded to YouTube. So there's still merit to keeping around some DVDs.
That assumes that society continues like business as usual and the movies continue to be easily accessible over the internet.
If society fails to the degree that you can no longer access movies on your hard drive, what the hell good will having them on a DVD do?
because eventually you'll rig your old generator to run on lard and want to pass times with your grandchildren by showing them your generation's myths and legends?
agree but blu ray sorted that issue, got to be a super tard to fuck up one of those discs
The truest of Chads remember using a cassette recorder in front of the speaker of a less then 20" CRT TV and losing their shit if anyone made any noise at all while recording.
my old Family Video Rental was between a Pizza Loca and Domino's. Shit was cash. I used to talk to the owner who was sad his kids didn't want to run the business and he would have to sell but Netflix ended up killing his business anyways
I did that a few times with my finger pushing the pause button halfway down, which sped up the tape while recording (meaning any audio it was recording would play back at a slower speed) mainly to hear what Alvin and the other Chipmunks actually sounded like (Alvin sounded a lot like Dave Seville speaking very slowly).
OG Xbox or Xbox One? Either way, both are pretty good media players tbh. Pick up a few man, if only to rip the data to your PC, you get the bonus features too! A external burner you can hook into a laptop is certainly cheap enough. As for a dedicated player, a regular blu ray player non-black Friday can be 50 bucks if you look for a deal, and it'll upscale DVD's, perfect for this program Netflix has.
I have a left-over Amazon gift card from Christmas with 100 bucks on it. I might get a DVD player. Could you link which one I should get?
I doubt there is going to be much difference between a $100 dvd player and a $15 one. Unless you want something special like it doubling as a surround sound system or a game console.
Just get a relatively cheap bluray player. As long as that bad boy plays disc's, it doesn't need to do much else. They're all fairly solid
