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

          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.

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