Why bother with DVDs when you have torrents and russian streaming sites...
- doublerabbit 2y agoI enjoy watching movies without having to wait four hours to download a Blu-ray rip on my 2mb ADSL. "I feel like watching a movie, NAS" vs "I feel like watching a movie, ETA: 4 hours" And besides my TV is dumb enough that I'm proud of it. It supports DNLA and works well.
- anentropic 2y agoJust plan ahead and download it before you want to watch it
- doublerabbit 2y agoBut that just ruins the spontaneous movie watching experience you get with DVDs.
- mikedelfino 2y agoSurely you mean the spontaneity after you have actually bought the DVD.
- doublerabbit 2y agoThat, or rewatching a pre-watched film for comfort. Not every movie needs to be new. I rewatched Firefly on the whim the other week and now Malcom In The Middle because I own them on DVD. Not available anywhere else digitally, at least with my subscription's.
- anentropic 2y agoif you watched it before you already downloaded it...
- bigstrat2003 2y agoBecause paying for the art I enjoy is the right thing to do, so I do it.
- NGRhodes 2y agoI have donated hundreds to charity purchasing my used DVDs from charity shops.
