G+_john ferris Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Physical media purchase I was watching episode 487 12/7 and there was a discussion on DVD/Blue ray purchasing. I have to admit I am a "caveman"/and do purchase physical media. Why you ask... Well have a copy on my physical network ensures I will be able to watch it no matter what the state of the internet is. If there should be caps, speed impact, or even bad thruput I still can see Christmas favorites, or if I am in the mood action flicks. I am not held hostage to other companies as to what, when and how I can watch a movie. Just my .02 from a caveman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_john ferris Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Forgot to add I do this for music also. Again... Listen to music anytime anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Chris Boren (Bo) Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Ditto on ripping blu-rays - however I've caved into buying digital music from Amazon. They do have an 'autorip' feature now, where on certain albums they just automatically give you the digital copy when you purchase the physical CD - it's pretty nice.

G+_Eng. Jorge Santana Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I have a Blu ray collection for my home theater if you want e best quality and sound on your $$$ setup Blu ray is the way to go. I do a lot of Netflix also but for the big movies and 3D movies I go with Blu ray. Also I do watch me more than once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Claude Marcotte Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I do the same. It's not just because of the state of the Internet, it's because of the ridiculous deals studios have with distributors. All of a sudden, something you want to watch isn't on Netflix anymore or anywhere else online because a business deal expired. Or because I'm in Canada, the movie (or show) isn't available. Amazon (and discs) to the rescue. It's that or piracy, and I'd rather pay for content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
