    Which shows have you abandoned?

    I have several. I gave up on NYPD Blue after 2 seasons, I couldn't get past the first few eps of the 2nd season. King of the Hill, same story. Bought the first season, but the following have been low on my priority list for a while now. I probably won't be buying them. Simpsons... It was a...

    ***Gay-Friendly DVD's, Version 5***

    I saw "A Home at the End of the World" last night and loved it. Very sweet movie with a bit of a harsh opening. (I couldn't stomach it, had my finger on the button in case more of that made its way into the film. Luckily it didn't.) If anyone can recommend titles along the lines of this one...

    Hm... Do we realy WANT Golden Girls in HD?

    Where do you buy your Canadian DVDs?

    I use dv-depot too. Might not be the cheapest, but they get the stuff through customs without a hassle. For games, I depend on dvdboxoffice.

    A few words about....Blu-Ray

    Doesn't even need to be just software. nVidia has made a set of very nice DVD codecs that uses their GPU's to unload a big chunk of decoding from the main CPU. And the results are nothing short of stunning. (The recovered CPU cycles can then be used for other filters like ffdshow or even...

    A few words about....Blu-Ray

    [/b] As far as I know Nintendo never sold the Cube at a loss. I've always read they were the only one to break even or make a profit on the hardware itself.

    A few words about....Blu-Ray

    I don't want my discs degradable at all, actually. Be it bio or otherwise. I prefer this news from TDK: Super-tough coating for cellphones and discs

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: The Shawshank Redemption - Two Disc Special Edition.

    Thank you for a great review! You made me decide to stick with my original version.

    A few words about....Blu-Ray

    Well then, I'll be a retard for the first couple of years, then, just because I can't afford a projector with 1080p technology. But I'm fine with it. I'll build up a collection. Realy enjoy it on my 720p cheap ass panny (the only range of pj's I can afford). Then, after a few years, I'll...

    It's going to be a long wait, eventhough it's nearing the end.

    A few words about....Blu-Ray

    I would take both VOD and my shiny disc, thank you. There's loads of crap out there that you want to see just once without going to blockbusters or the theater. (I have to admit, I'm already doing something quite like it using Usenet. It's great for keeping up with television programming...

    DVD Enthusiasts v DVD Snobs

    Yup, same here. I barely have time to sit through all my movies, let alone watch the extras or listen to the commentaries. I'll settle for barebone editions if there's a better soundtrack or better transfer to be had. Heck, I even double dip for some superbits. I prefer extended cuts and...

    Samurai Jack (MERGED THREAD)

    I don't see what's kiddy about it, actually. Sure, kids can watch, but the show is full of stuff only older viewers will recognise and appreciate. Can't wait for the rest!

    STAR WARS special Edition VHS WS audio problem

    Eh... Sound IS important. But have you seen the cleaned up video transfer on these dvds? And to be honest, the set isn't all that expensive. If something turns out to be broken, I'm sure Lucas will have some kind of callback program. Didn't they call this the Archival Edition. You're not...

    Easy Rider 35th Anniversary Edition - worth buying?

    Well, if you don't have the 30th edition, you might as well hold out a few more days and get the new one. No need to get in a hurry now, right? (If only to prevent buying a 1999 disc.)

    Buffy V.s Dark Angel

    Probably pointless by now, but I'm gonna make my vote for Buffy. It is said that the final seasons aren't up to par with the first three, but don't worry about it. There's still plenty of decent writing left and by the time you get there you'll be so addicted that you won't mind there are a...

    Many past HBO releases were without subtitles. Real shame.

    DS9 or Voyager?

    Let's hope Chris has stopped reading and bought the darn thing already before we completely over analyse the entire series for him ;) Cary on people, interesting stuff here!

    DS9 or Voyager?

    I think they wrote Ezri like that because they wanted a real big contrast to what Jadzia was. They kept the motions (hands behind her back) and altered the personality in a big way. I realy liked her. You know, I always thought they would change the Dax character more often with a new "face"...

    DS9 or Voyager?

    Jadzia and Worf... way better than Troi and Worf. (Has nothing to do with Voyager, but I had to say it.) It has been said a couple of times here, but I'm just gonna chime in. DS-9 is superb on DVD. Quite an investment, but the sets realy shine together. I'm not buying Voyager. Way too...

    First Ever Season Set on DVD?

    TV on DVD. Why do you buy it?

    Act breaks do indeed enhance the story, but I won't believe seeing a happy clown dance across the screen or a lady with her period smiling while she explains how dry she is can be beneficial to a story. The mood is changed, period. You're on the edge of your seat, tension is rising, commercial...

    TV on DVD. Why do you buy it?

    So TiVo gives you entire seasons with extras, then? Commentaries? Perfect picture, perfect sound? Can you put TiVo programming on your shelf and look at it even when you're not watching the programming? Will TiVo help me out here in Belgium, where most shows don't even get aired? Can TiVo create...

    What's the last TV DVD/Blu-ray you bought?

    Hm... I don't think I could handle that. Whenever there's a show coming to DVD, I stop watching it on TV. Heck, I've stopped watching TV alltogether once I experienced the joy of tv-on-dvd. Let's just hope HBO gets the next set out a bit sooner. I couldn't stand the wait between seaon 1 and...
