https://www.220-electronics.com/ is having a sale. I have bought several players from them and they’ve been great

Now, I know what your thinking, are region free players piracy? Well, it depends which country you live in

      Found the millenial :p /jk

      It’s essentially a player which ignores the region locks on bluray discs.

            Digital format wars were a thing while Blockbuster was still around. They know both

            How quickly we forget Laserdisc and Video CDs.

            Oh and UMD, but I don’t think “I want to watch a movie in poor quality on a tiny screen on a device that’ll probably run out of battery before the movie finishes” was a market anybody was really interested in.

              Sony minidisc says hi :p

              I remember a time when i was hoping they’ll implement the minidisc as an alternate removerable storage for PC. More robust compared to floppy disks, less delicate compared to CDR, and is rewritable too. LOL

          I think they’re saying the opposite: millennials as “boomers” so-to-speak.

          Millennial because they grew up only knowing MP3s and digital media and didn’t get to experience disc based media. :p

            What in the world??

            I’m a millennial and I grew up with 8 tracks and cassettes. I was in grade school when we got our first CD player.
