Same here! I canceled HBO/Max, Hulu, and Disney and now I just buy discs by the armload at the local used books and records stores. The prices range from 99¢ to $10. The trigger was I wanted to watch The Abyss, the longer edition, and it's just not available anywhere. The DVD version looks great and sounds amazing compared to the tragically bad downmixes I get from streaming. After a few months of doing this now I have dozens of great movies on disc.
- capitainenemo 3y agoPretty cool. I'm hunting for alternatives to Netflix DVD. I've been checking out Café DVD as a possibility but haven't actually tried it - it might not have as large a catalog. Another thing I've been meaning to try, but haven't yet, is hooking up VLC to https://github.com/k4yt3x/video2x/wiki https://github.com/k4yt3x/video2x/wiki or similar, since, yeah, while DVD quality is pretty decent, for certain genres sometimes I do want a bit more luscious detail.
