That reminds me pb. Can you give me an idea of what is on (or not on) Netflix in the UK? (Like the old classics, UK shows, latest movies like Pixar, etc) I've been wanting it for so long and we only have Hulu here. I'd check it myself but Netflix doesnt allow outside visitors on their sites.
I'd like to recommend it to my Mum and brothers.
You own an Apple TV right? Can you stream your tv shows on that or is it just for downloading?

Morning.
Why is it when you leave at 3.30pm, does someone then go and set a meeting for 4pm?
Machie - Many Blurays have a digital copy included anyway, so I go for those first. Disney are notorious, so I'm not surprised. They are doing more digital copies with their films, though, which is a good sign.
iTunes prices have got much better too (Ghost Protocol £9.99 with all previous films £4.99 last week and with iTunes extras). More 1080p films and hopefully films will be added to the cloud soon (TV and music already is, but movies are only on the cloud in the US) meaning I can redownload on the go.
Anything that doesn't have a digital copy I just have on Bluray for now anyway. There's only so much you can watch. But Netflix works on iPhone too and is £4.99 a month, so that would be one option.

So how is Diablo 3? I heard there were some server problems. My question is, I thought Diablo was a single player game? Why are servers involved at all? I played and loved the first one. Never got the second one.
DL, you're down with the young people. Do you know what a Skrillex is? Is it a pokemon or something? I keep seeing people mention it.
Pete, thanks for the advice. The one I found was a Buffalo one, I'll try and find a Panasonic. There really shouldnt be a problem with me getting them here. My parents in law are still using a VCR. I just want to skip blu-ray altogether.
pb, I always wanted to collect limited edition DVDs. Now the future is streaming. I dont think the studios even want us to buy the downloads. They dont want us to own anything. Just buy a license to view their content for a short period of time.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is 75 years old. Why can't I get it on iTunes? Whats their excuse for putting it back in their vault? You cant run out of digital downloads like you can a DVD run. They'd still end up charging 14 pounds for it. Maybe you're right pb and try and get everything on DVD first and burn it onto the computer. I wonder what software you use. I've been disappointed with some of the ones Ive used. They never capture everything.

Few more reviews for a staffie to remove. Far fewer one-liners than in the past. Seems to have decreased somewhat. Think I'll clean the review forum every month from now on. Logically seems like a more sensible system.
I will get round to cleaning up the entire review forum at some point (removing bad reviews - hopefully with the assistance of a staff member; adding the relevent tag at the start of every title e.g. [Game], [Film] etc.). Should make for a very resourceful and tidy review forum then :-)
If anyone hasn't yet, get over to the EURO 2012 thread and join in on the fantasy team game. Even if you don't follow football, it's a bit of fun.

Morning all.
Nothing wrong with a bit of Optical Disc. Until they start providing all the extras on Downloadable movies and TV series it's still the best format for the complete experience. Plus there still aren't all that many 1080p movie downloads around (legally).
Besides, what about all the cases, artwork and little flyers in the Bluray boxes that we'd all be missing out on? :)

@DL, I thought so too, but while the States and UK leaped ahead with DVR and streaming. Sony are holding Japan behind by trying to get people to buy blu-ray still. I can't find a DVR without blu-ray under £200. Oh wait, I just found one. Cool thanks DL.
Is BetamaxHD is not available in Japan yet Machie? :P
On a serious note, Panasonic DVR's are very good. They are really easy to use with excellent recording quality. I've had 3 of them in total, really recommend them. I've no idea how much they are in Japan though?

Morning all and Machie (Keeper of the Keys) :¬)
So it's just me on the forum today huh? Sorry to hear about your cold/flu/leprosy/dead relative. I'll hold down the fort.
