It's a pretty good deal when I don't have a disc player of any kind (well, CD).
- gmac 6y agoWell, maybe, though an external DVD drive probably costs no more than three or four movies, and then you can make yourself non-DRM digital copies too. (As long as you don't need BluRay and HD).
- toast0 6y agoBluRay ripping is possible, too, although not as simple and easy as DVD ripping.
- PascLeRasc 6y agoI place a big value on not owning things I don't want, like external DVD drives. I'd pay more for a virtual one-time-viewing copy than I would for a DVD even if it came with a DVD drive. I specifically want to not own one.
- MaxBarraclough 6y agoI've never used this feature, but apparently Audible/iTunes permits you to burn to a CD exactly once. Far cheaper than buying the 'proper' CD.
