I'll next be there on Saturday. If there are some left I will see what I can do :lol: I don't think they'll be worth anything though. You're dreaming.
my disc drive on my computer plays all formats of discs even HD-DVD a shop by my house did stock taking about 6 months ago and had about 50 HD-DVDs for sale for $1 each so i bought them all
I got HD-DVD and lots of movies just for 30 dollars, local store sold me their movies for 50 euro cents each. I got most of them. Also im not buying any bluerays at all. im just a late adopter believing the sad future will be download and streams.
Ignoring the zombiness of this thread, I do have to raise something re: CodeAsm's point. I myself subscribe to three movie streaming services, 2 of which release films in HD. So why is it I still buy back-catalogue movies on Blu-Ray or DVD when in some cases they are readily available on stream or on download? Simple: picture quality. Don't get me wrong - the PQ on Netflix or LoveFilm is great and the HD works really well. But compared to the Blu-Ray there is no real competition - often the bitrate is about a quarter of the Blu-Ray version. Things aren't much better with the download services - many people don't want 25-30GB of space on their computer taken up by a film (let alone the download speeds of that for many), so instead films are often provided in HD at a lower bitrate to alleviate this issue. They just don't look as good. Will downloads and streaming replace Blu-Rays and DVDs? Maybe. But at the moment: * the network infrastructure means that internet speeds aren't going to be good enough for 75% of users for at least another 10 years, and even then hours to download is too long for most consumers; * Netflix, Amazon and iTunes wouldn't be able to handle the increased traffic from everyone on 15-20Mbps streaming services or 30GB downloads without at a minimum trebling their connectivity and server capacity (at cost to subscription/purchase cost); * despite the increase in hard drive capacity, many are still not prepared to dedicate large amounts of hard drive space to purchased films and few are prepared to re-download every time you want to watch it (both consumers and companies); * there are still more Blu-Ray players under televisions than there are Internet TV devices (although there is a crossover between both); and * some consumers will still want the added bonuses provided via Blu-Ray/DVD (portability, relatively seamless DRM, convenience, extra features, resale, etc.)
Bloody hell, you must have been REALLY bored to have dug up a thread that's over FIVE YEARS OLD!! That said, nice haul! I'd have made them an offer on the lot, though!
