Big companies were always pulling the "you will watch what I want you to see" approach. It's also what killed cable and satellite. That being said, I've found myself checking out more and more DVDs from the library simply because it's reliable, and I find it enjoyable in a way. I don't really care about HD quality or whatever -- DVD quality is fine. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] elbarto777@lemmy.world 6 points 3 years ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Dubious_Fart@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 years ago Yep, Get those for like 2 bucks at goodwill. Hell, even entire box sets. Almost got the entire collectors edition band of brothers box set for 2 bucks at goodwill once.. only reason I didnt is cause it was missing like 3 of the disks, and I didnt want to spend the rest of my life trying to hunt those 3 down. permalink fedilink source parent
