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
I haven’t used a disc player in years. 🤷
I bought one recently for 4k BRs. It’s awful, even though I bought one of the highest-recommended ones. They’re still slow, lose your place, and generally suck. And if there’s any dirt on the disc, you’ve got a major problem, no matter how small the smudge.
And that isn’t even counting the problems with the format, such as unskippable intros and copyright notices.
Ripped media is so, so superior that it’s absolutely ridiculous.
I stopped for a long time, but I’ve continued with the launches of things like Metalocalypse or Venture Bros. Smaller productions that I want to support but aren’t streaming in my country.
Heck, back when Metalocalypse released their first movie there was a limited edition version with a skull cup that was only available in Australia for some reason. I imported the set for my SO, and I had to rip the bluray myself :/
Before finding out about Backblaze I still did file backups to disc lol. Now the only time I touch a disc is when it’s being ripped 😂
Same here, but after reading those losing access to digital purchases as the rights for the properties change vendors, for those that want to truly own the thing, they can no matter where they live.
This is why I still believe in physical media. While most of my purchases are digital nowadays, I consider them disposable basically. For movies and games I really care about and want to be able to keep, I like physical.
What’s a Region free player??
Found the millenial :p /jk
It’s essentially a player which ignores the region locks on bluray discs.
Found the millenial
millenial? Some of us are now in our forties. We grew up in the format wars
the VHS vs Beta format wars, not the HD-DVD vs Blu-ray format wars for the young’ns out there.
Millennial because they grew up only knowing MP3s and digital media and didn’t get to experience disc based media. :p
I just rip any disk I get, I haven’t had to think about region locks for at least 15 years.
I had heard of this company a while back when I was looking for this exact same thing. They have been in the business for many years and their methods of cracking have been mostly reliable till now. If you need one, get it from them or through their Amazon store
