might be $20,000 worth of dvd players in there
Way way more. In the early 2000s DVD players were 400+. A trailer could easily hold a few hundred. Let's be generous and say there were 300 players at 300 ea. That's 90,000.00 at least.
Only thing is the whole point of stolen goods for the buyer is that they save money compared to buying legitimately. Unless they're going to move hundreds of DVD players straight to the end consumer themselves they're going to need a fence to retail them that's going to want room to profit themselves, they'd probably get around half price.
Really the truck would be worth way, way more than whatever they get from the DVD players.
they didn't have enough room in the garage for a truck
it's also not worth jumping between cars at a high speed on a highway
would be embarrassing if he fell
HD-DVD and Blu-ray players aren't the same thing at all. Anyway, 400? You burgers were getting raped.
>In the early 2000s DVD players were 400+
Not even close. By the time 2000 hit DVD players were available for a hundred dollars or less. The Playstation 2 only cost $299 when it launched. By 2003 when the first Fast & Furious movie came out you could find DVD players for $50. Your pic related shows blu-ray players, which failed largely in part to the fact that no one was willing to pay $400 for one.
But blu-ray won.

>one of the ads in image says sears.com
Midwits have no idea what commical things cost.
The truck tires alone would cost about $8,000 new. The simi trunk along would cost between $70,000-$150,000
Assuming a discount for used and black market, just taking the truck would be more than that.
Pretty sure a truck could hold a few thousand not a few hundred.
>d a few thousand
How many pallets do you think fits in a 16 wheeler son?
I garetee your answer is wrong. You could easily fit 135 dvd players on a pallet
look at the shot from the movie
not even on pallets. But I would say most trailers can take around 30 pallets, but the boxes in question are not going to fit 135 to a pallet
Okay, but if they are not on pallets, it could fit even more
And nothing fell off either
>The truck tires alone would cost about $8,000 new
And they're likely not new.
>The simi trunk along would cost between $70,000-$150,000
They don't have the space for that. Try Cinemaphile next time, they accept morons more readily, homosexual.
yes. ask me what a new vhs tape used to cost when the technology was new.
I won't. You could just tell us without asking for it specifically.
DVD players were like 200-300 for nice ones, like 80-100 for cheap shit. In early 00s dollars that's more than enough for car upgrades, BBQs, and Carona.
>Carona
Sorry, Caronx
the action is the juice
>YO! TRY Amazon FROM NOW ON YOU CAN GET YOURSELF A DVD PLAYER FOR 2.95 homosexual
WATCH YO BACK
normies bought a PS2 because they couldn't afford a DVD player, thats how fricked the situation was in 2000 and 2001
This.
Then it kind of repeated itself during the 7th Gen with Bluray beating out HDDVD. All because the PS3 was the cheapest Bluray player out there. And you needed a $200+ attachment to play HDDVD on Xbox 360.
except people quickly found out playing too many dvds on your ps2 would bork it
Only two more dvds chud
Doesn't frick it up too badly, the only game it really stops reading is GT4.
the american nintendo fans tell you here that the ps2's were cheaper than normal dvd players, so that's why everyone bought one instead
Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius was the first DVD I ever got and that was in 2004. Had only VHS before that.
Warning!!!
Danger to Manifold!
SHUT UP
>GO HOME PIZZA BOY
Why didn't they ever bring Leon back?
He's off screen studying necromancy to revive Jesse for ONE FINAL RIDE
Neither Jesse nor Johnny Tran were confirmed dead. Imagine...
>turn Johnny Tran into behind the scenes mastermind
There's a negative percent chance of this happening but I would absolutely shit a hole through my pants if he's ever revealed as that distorted voice from Hobbs & Shaw.
I completely checked out at 6th or 7th one, is it even remotely worth it forcing myself through the rest?
There are four more to catch up with then. If you didn't like 7 you won't like what comes next but I'm just going to power through.
no they are progressively worse
He was offered multiple times. He knew it would have become the train wreck it is today. Wise man
Where did you get this? All I heard is he wasn't interested in being an actor
Same reason they never had a funeral for Jesse.
Who the frick would even need that many DVD players? I never understood this.
It's called using a fence you moron. The crew steals it, the fence pays them for each item, fence sells it to buyers or a street merchant.
they were scalping them
Good DvD players were selling for $300 and fricking everybody wanted one in the early 2000s. Could very well be $50,000 on that truck.
Googled some of the model numbers to find what their RRP was when new. The VCR’s were $180, the TV was 380, the DVD players were 699 and the camcorders were 900
I said forget about it cuh
DVD's are the only reason anyone bothered buying a PS2.
we HONGRY
What was the first DVD your family bought? Mine was Gladiator
three kings
Shrek and Dude Where's My Car.
I remember when we were hooking up the dvd player and we had the Shrek disc up and running before plugging in the video composite cable, hearing Donkey's "Oo pick me pick me" from the selection menu.
I got mission impossible 2 from my aunt
Minority Report. Having an interactive menu before launching the film blew my mind.
Fricking narnia. And we watched it on one of those portable dvd players with a tiny screen
Julien Donkey Boy, but it was a gift from a friend when my family got their first DVD player.
Harman Kardon or something like that, apparently it was extremely expensive
This one, and the DVD was something with art like a musuem
Lock Stock. And it came in one of the old style DVD cases made out of a hard plastic that shattered like glass when you dropped them.
Not that anon but ours was Matrix and I'm pretty sure it didn't have the green tint as it was before the release of the sequels. Followed by Con Air and Godzilla in those weird plastic cases that super easily cracked. We had to watch it on the computer because we didn't have a DVD player yet
My sister got me Gladiator and American Pie on DVD one Christmas, watched American Pie over and over on my PC, when you'd be downloading PowerDVD or some software to play it, all the extras and commentary tracks, comfy times
>family
I got my own DVD player in my room while my family still did the VCR thing. The first two DVD's I got were Godzilla 2000 and Blair Witch 2. Blair Witch 2 had hidden shit in the menus and hidden messages hidden in the movie you could discover, and the opposite side of the disk was the soundtrack you could listen to on a CD player. Those were the days.
Funnily enough, the fast and the furious was the first DVD my parents got when my sister bought them a DVD player for christmas
I hear there's not as many titles available as on laser.
Hard to believe, but they were once more expensive than even tuna!
Why couldn't they afford good tuna then?
IT WAS GOOD ENOUGH OKAY
>ywn listen to this and then leave to go steal 1000 dvd players
>be poor
>single mom is minimum wage employee, dad was "working at the oil rig for a year"
>after several months of her saving up she manages to afford a dvd player for my ungrateful ass
>bought me a really cool winnie the pooh movie with it
>announce it to my fellow poor kids
>we make a huge deal about it
>theres about 10 smelly kids of all colors in a cramped 10 x 15 apartment living room all hyped about not so much winnie the pooh, but the fact it was on DVD
>invited the neighborhood kids, was deemed 'rich kid' until we moved out
sorry mom i love you
can i borrow some sugar?
>jet transparently trying to force the drama
wrong thread?!
the chase is better than the catch
When dvs where brand new the first players to pop up dis cost 1k and up.
Inflation adjusted that's almost 2k for a dvd player. More than most people spend for a decent PC rig.
I remember watching the Matrix and Blade on it. It was awesome
I don't know, but I haven't made the switch to ~~*digital media*~~ nor even Blu Ray. I'm a DVD Chad for life. You gotta be able to hold your films in your hands as far as I'm concerned. Physical media forever, bros.
Yes, they were region-free.
And played avi and MP4 anime files.
>discussing dvd players
They stole vcrs
When they raided Johnny Tran they found DVD players and didn't seem too surprised.
familia is priceless
I spent like $600 on a low-end player in the late 90s.
I had an early 2000s portable DVD player as a kid
Watched so many movies
Is Vin Diesel hiding his kino level? Like Adam Sandler type of deal?
4k players are way too expensive now
I have a ps5 to play them but doesn't have dolby vision fricking israelites
>he connects the DVD player
