I got tired of having to search and sign up for wherever my favorite movie is streaming this month, so I’m going back to DVDs for the foreseeable future, until the streaming overlords get their shit together. So… maybe forever. But at least for now.
It’s nice. I put a disc in, and press play, and it plays.
I hadn’t quite realize how much messing around the streaming services had added to my movie nights.
(Recover password, verify my email, sign up with a credit card, authorize the TV, remove the old iPad because of a device limit, sign in at least one extra time for no certain reason, sometimes discover I chose the wrong service and start over.)
Yeah, I haven’t been willing to purchase Blu-ray because of the DRM escalations built into it.
I’m not willing to buy them new from a retailer, I’ll buy them used from pawn shops or ebay or something.
Hmmm. That’s a good point. I guess I might start thrift shopping Blueray discs after I feel more confident that I can make a backup, if I ever get that far.
