I might be splurging out on some DVDs. Do you have any recommendations for me? I am thinking of purchasing Gravity for the special effects.

Consider this an unofficial test of how well you know me. Remember however that I'm not the Elle Bee of old.

What about Cloud Atlas? I recommend that one if you have patience to see a movie through.

Dee Vee Dee? As in those round shiny things that come in cases? Not Toadie's Dee (RIP).

I illegally download buy all my media from The Pirate Bay Google Play, Amazon or iTunes. I then transfer the files to an external hard drive (2TB) or flash drive which is plugged into the TV whenever we watch something. It's a neatly organised backed up collection. :squee:

I haven't watched a blu-ray for years, much less a D.V.D. The quality is poor, they ALWAYS get scratched eventually and you have those annoying messages about piracy which you can't skip (and ironically, most likely drives people to piracy).

We've got one of those Virgin shops in my town and the place is packed with DVDs and Blu-ray disks.

My DVD player is 10 years old and still works just fine. That's because it has had very little use over the years.

Since 172 considers DVDs to be old fashioned he'll be doubly shocked that I still have cassette tapes and the old video tapes.

Blu has probably never seen a video tape.

We got rid of our VHS around 2003 I think and the DVD player went around 2007.

I have a PS3 which I used to use for blu-rays up until a few years ago, but even they died a death. I have fibre optic broadband and download all my media, which is vastly, vastly superior as it gives me control over the content. Sometimes, I stream.
