How many people on /tv/ own a Blu Ray player?
0 out of 10thanks yify
Yes I have a playstation
a ps3, xbone and a normal one
gave the normal one to my parents and only use the xbone sometimes
I use my ps3 but it pisses me off that the controls for DVD and Bluray are different
I have a ps4, but I've only ever used it to watch a movie once. And i don't mean just blu rays, I have a Roku for streaming and what net-hul-azon doesn't have I just put on a jump drive and plug that in.
Is there anything more useless than a stand alone blu ray player in the CURRENT YEAR?
>>67866967
I got a standalone Blu-ray player about five years back because I use cheap computers, got a decent TV, and I stopped playing video games years ago. So I wanted a simple dedicated machine since I wasn't going to get a drive/player any other way, and it's been fine.
It has some internet functionality that I haven't used in a few years. I should plug it into the internet and see if it wants to update its Jew-ware at all (famous last words?)

I don't. I have a 42 inch 720p plasma. Would I be able to tell a difference?
I have one, can't remember the last time I actually used it though.
>>67869066
>720p in 2016
And yes you would be able to see the difference
>>67868929
Sounds dumb as fuck.
Why wouldn't you just have a bluray drive, and media player software?
I own a ps4 and a bunch of blu rays. It's easier to just pirate things on my computer than it is to get up and change discs, etc so that's what I do.
>>67869066
I have one (a TV) that's a bit bigger and yes, you will very easily register a difference between a blu-ray and a DVD on such a display.
When I was younger and poorer about ten years ago, I pooh-poohed the difference and held out for a few years. Happiy I got more money and so finally I upgraded.
I have a blu-ray player in my laptop, since 2012.
To this day I've never inserted a Blu-ray disc into it.
>>67868929
I have one built into my laptop
>>67866967
I own a fibre optic internet connection
How BTFO are you right now?
2, but not because they're blu ray players. One is my ps4, one came with my surround sound system. I just pirate 1080p blu ray files anyway.
I just download 1.5GB BrRips. The difference is pretty negligible desu

I bought a standalone one for my parents a while back. While I own quite a few Blu-rays they never use them and just watch Netflix on it. Kind of wish I had just gotten them a Kindle tv thing now. Would have saved myself around 40 dollars.
I just use my PS3 for Blu-rays though.
got this on the cheap last year
it's ight

yify's audience everyone
>>67869407
I pirate shit I don't want to own or pay and arm and leg to go see at the theaters.
However, I like to own a physical copy of my favorites.
Streaming shit doesn't even come close to the quality either and I don't feel like downloading massive high quality rips of them and storing them on some fucking hard drive.
Plus, it's not like I run out and buy Blu-rays right when they come out. I look for them on the cheap when I can find them. 10 bucks for a Blu-ray of a movie I like is breddy good. The most I've ever spent was 50 on LotR special edition but that's more than worth it to me.
Normally? No more than 10.
>>67869445
Nah, mate, my internet is good enough to download an 18 GB BD remux in about 30 minutes
I can settle for 9-12 GB rips, depending on length
I don't have one currently, but I'm definitely going to get a 4k bluray player next year when there's more actual 4k bluray movies out.
TV signals are still 720p and streaming services have garbage bitrate so that will be the only way to get 4k content
>>67869707
Maybe google fiber will come to your louisiana swamp town :^)
>>67866967
I have a bdrom on my PC but used it 1 or 2 times. Remux is the future
>>67869609
I'm the same.
Fuck knows how many times I've watched my extended LOTR on bluray and it only cost me £25.
>>67869819
fuck off netflix shill
"""high quality""" netflix streaming doesn't even reach 10% of DSL top speeds.
>>67869707
>TV signals are still 720p and streaming services have garbage bitrate
This as well. They won't be catching up soon either. The internet infrastructure, at least here in the US, is just not up to par to do that in quite a few places yet. My local cable provider could handle it if I upgraded to a higher package but still. It's just not happening yet. Also, we must think of our Aussie shitposters out there. They have it bad enough as is shitposting on, from what I hear, is some of the shittiest speeds of internet access out there.
>>67869819
Google Fiber is already getting fucked in most of the places it tries to settle down due to union constraints coupled with lobbying efforts. You'll be lucky to see it in a most major state capitols in the next 10 years let alone smaller towns and municipalities.
>>67866967
I just have my xbox and both playstations. My parents have an actual Blu ray player at their house
>>67870037
Unions and lobbies are such absolute cancer
>>67870087
I can understand it from the union's worker's standpoint of Google basically bumrushing towns, creating new infrastructure, and possibly muscling out their jobs. I'd be concerned as well.
I mean, at the end of the day a Union and it's members are just the puppet the corporation that employs it.
Google just needs to give incentive to these people to be employed by them instead. Too bad Google's just a fucking tech company and isn't versed in the IMMENSE politics that go behind the scenes of what is essentially government sanctioned monopolies in many areas of the rural, and not so rural, US. All the money in the world can't break bonds like that. Endless pocket must be greased.
I use my xbone for blurays and kodi and Netflix for streaming.
The xbone blu ray player has clear picture and much smoother frame rate than my actual standalone bluray player..

>hehe, all these suckers with their giant TVs and physical media don't understand how to really watch a movie, on a 19 inch monitor at your desk
>owning a blue ray player
Fucking cancer killing the art of film.
You don't need >LOL 1080p XD to enjoy movies you fucking faggots. Cucks are so fucking autistic these days over blue ray it's not even funny. I actually convert my DVDs to VHS so I can watch the movie the way it was intended. Takes a lot of work but it's worth it. I have a huge collection of VHS in my basement. Pretty proud of it.
>>67870512
Well, it fucking should considering it still probably takes the lion's-share of blu-ray players out there.
>>67866967
PS3, PS4, 2 players and a 3d player in this household.
>>67869011

Top kek
>>67869253
These are the types of faggots that pirate. I bet you also watched it on your laptop, right, pal? Literal cancer.
>Not buying the movies you liked
Fucking cancer.
>>67870590
I know it's b8 but still.
>VHS
>the way it was intended
It would still just be on a projector with the reels of film.
>>67870391
>The xbone blu ray player has clear picture and much smoother frame rate than my actual standalone bluray player
It's the other way around for me. For some reason, Blu-Rays look much sharper on my BD player than they do on my Xbone.
got a ps3 and portable disk drive
>>67869253
I bet you even watch them on your shitty 1366x768 dogshit laptop screen too.
Anyone who doesn't at least a decent 46" TV is a fucking faggot who doesn't know SHIT about kino.

Literally this, it's the comfy process of having a personal canon of GOATs, as measured by whether you want to own them

can this meme be over? nobody gives a fuck about it, you cuck.
>>67870391
>The xbone blu ray player has clear picture and much smoother frame rate than my actual standalone bluray player..
How and why? The only thing a BD player should do is sending the digital signal to your TV. It shouldn't fuck with the color/sharpness/appearance of the movie.
>>67870860
He probably doesn't have 24hz turned on in his Xbox settings, so the console is interpolating it to 60fps, making it appear 'smoother'

nice thread lads
>>67869978
how did you find it so cheap? CEX still selling second hand ones for atleast £40.
>>67871085
HMV cleared them out a while ago for £20-25
>>67866967
yes
>>67871119
damn, I missed out then.
I got one in my PC with a collection of my personal GOAT movies. I only ever buy my favourites and have a few steelbooks as well.
>>67866967
But you need to buy the disks to put into that thing right? Which means a waste of space and money.
>>67869987
Have you tried a decent torrent tracker?

>Have you tried a decent torrent tracker?
yeah, i have an account on the pirate bay
4K Blu Ray Player - $400
Movies $30 ea
4K HDR TV $1600 (You have to have HDR 4K tv or the colors are shit)
4K is't worth it right now.
>>67871732
iptorrents is shit, but it's the lowest tier of "decent" I'd say
buy yourself an account, friendless goyim :^)
>>67871820
I run HTPC/digital projector combo, cost me slightly less
pretty good for 1080p
>>67871015
Not even. The frame rate is shit on my bluray player for some reason. Looks choppy as fuck.
>>67871820
Wtf 4k blurays are a thing? Honestly don't give a fuck how I watch what I want it makes no difference at all imo.
>>67872007
Most of true kino doesn't even have blu-ray releases
>>67870412
Blurays will always be better quality than any rips and you don't have to worry about harddrive space
>>67872007
>makes no difference at all imo.
this is what blind people actually believe
>>67870573
it sure fucking does sir
>>67872203
If I could watch vhs again I would i,t wouldn't bother me at all.
Entertainment is subjective my man.I used to have to watch Mexican gameshows and pbs for like a year when I was little it didn't affect me at all.
>>67872138
At 11 Mbps bitrate quality difference is quite literally indistinguishable, typically around 9-12 GB
But you can also go for full sized remux, which is the movie file from the blu ray minus all the extra audio tracks and other bullshit, those are around 17-22 GB
As for hard drives, WD caviar greens are dime a dozen, that's their thing, store loads of crap 4 cheap
So yeah, you're wrong and I'm right, and I'm not even the anon you replied to
>>67870037
In my town of 2k ppl we already have 1gig Internet

>not having a BD drive and ripping your collection to an external HDD
>>67866967
Got a sony one in the living room hooked up to my benq 3D projector with JBL surround sound. The setup left me broke a.f. for a few months but worth every penny.
>>67873915
How are things down in that bunker treating you? Shh! Shh! Yes of course they'll all be proved fools. Yes, I'll just wait and see. Okay, now it's time for bed you little rascal.
I have a PS3 and a PS4. The only discs that have ever been in my PS4 are World War Z and Heat. Physical media is a waste of time.
>>67866967
I have one but it just collects dust when its not being used to watch remuxes from an external hdd
>>67873952
>having a collection
>ripping
I have 3, Pioneer BDP450 with custom firmware to make it region free, the one built on my PC, and the old panasonic I first bought
Also a mede8er player to play based yifi rips
>>67874743
2.5" external HDD or a fucking stack of plastic boxes
Somebody never left his momma's basement I seeto be honest it's much easier and waaay less time consuming to download the rips than do them yourself

m8 I'd need 15 terabytes to back up all the iso files
a bookshelf with movies on it is more convenient than desk full of harddrives
>>67875178
>m8 I'd need 15 terabytes to back up all the iso files
Just ffmpeg the movie file itself via -vcodec:copy .mkv, that'll save you about 8 TB
>>67875438
ok, so id have to spend days: weeks going through my 250 movie library ripping 20gb remux files off of my blu ray disks and It'd still take up over 6TB of space
less convenient than actually using physical media. im sick of the meme that its dead and not worth it anymore
>>67875490
Then you can die content with knowledge you saved several cubic meters of space in your basement
