No
I love you
Why would it be for nothing? You now can watch those movies/shows whenever you want and not have to worry about streaming services taking them down or editing them.
>not have to worry about streaming services taking them down or editing them.
I hope you're not playing your kinos on a blu-ray player that's connected to the internet.
For now they only use it to update ads.
Oh shit, are they really? I play blu-rays on my Xbox, frick. I should get a dedicated offline player.
what's the use of connecting blu-ray player to internet? i mean i guess there could be firmware updates but outside of that?
At one point BD-Live was supposed to add longevity to your purchase by releasing extra downloadable features like new commentaries as they became available, but I don't think they do that anymore.
sounds vaguely familiar
What the frick are you morons talking about? They're not bricking anyone's player. The ads they update just replace the ones already pre-loaded on the disc, but they've never stopped you from declining that feature. On Xbox you can disable it in the console settings outright. Shut the frick up you melodramatic Black folk.
they're crazy
Sony in particular is known for releasing firmware updates on their old consoles that give them problems and sometimes even brick the system. A lot of people think it's intentional. Bluray players don't have this problem, but maybe in the future it will be an issue when 4k player manufacturers get upset with low sales cause their old players are too robust that people aren't replacing them fast enough and suddenly there's an update that does seemingly nothing but now your player is acting funny and rejecting a lot of discs.
Physical media is dying because people don't buy it outright, not because their media players last too long. It's just a disc drive. More importantly they're not unified in their design, Sony killing their players while all the other blu ray players work is just shooting themselves in the foot. You'd just see chinkshit flood the space they occupied. They don't even have real operating systems, what the frick is there to brick? If Sony is being a moronic company bricking their own consoles, I promise that the blu ray/4k disc market is small and irrelevant enough to not lead their decision, they did it to frick over gamers not squeeze money out of movie viewers. You know next to nothing about this and it shows.
I was just proposing an idea of what could happen, I don't appreciate your sperging out and insults.
I don't appreciate your schizo bullshit going unchecked, Black person.
Go post more frogs about it, or maybe even a wojack if you feel so daring today?
Maybe I will. I'm still not the one that thinks blu ray players are magic.
>Goes on the schizo board
>Is angry at schizos
Classic 'tism.
>Sony in particular is known for releasing firmware updates on their old consoles that give them problems and sometimes even brick the system.
Really. Name 3 times.
there might have been once, but it was fixed in couple of days. can't name 2 others lol
I thought the implication was that they would alter your versions of the media with an update. Can you imagine how many times your Star Wars blu rays would change?
it would need to be some sort of writable cartridge then because you can't write on finished discs
Unless the disc is just some authorization shit that enables access to the movie from an online source. Christ could you imagine an even worse version of digital media, needing physical trash just to access it?
Yeah I thought it sounded like nonsense
That’s not the only reason though. George Lucus going back and fricking up his original trilogy with the special editions had nothing to do with wokeness, but now they’re the only versions available.
You can still play everything though. The special editions didn't make the old versions illegal or unwatchable. That's a far cry from George Lucas negotiating with Blu Ray player manufacturers to automatically detect and replace every version of Star Wars with one he approves of. You're taking a half-baked idea and running with it.
Oh no, I’m not going along with that. I said that the idea of them rewriting blu rays via your player sounded like nonsense, and I stand by that statement. I am just an advocate for physical media for the reasons you listed. I want a copy of the original version I can watch at any time, and not be beholden to streaming services that might edit content (for a variety of reasons) or worse yet remove it from their service entirely. I wanted to watch a Netflix original movie the other day and it wasn’t available to watch anymore. It’s one of their originals, you’d think they’d keep it available.
>That's a far cry from George Lucas negotiating with Blu Ray player manufacturers to automatically detect and replace every version of Star Wars with one he approves of.
Nobody even said that, the post above was saying blu ray manufacturers could theoretically break their players with a firmware update to force sales of more blu ray players.
These monolithic companies only ever did woke shit for money. Nobody is giving them an ESG loan for maintaining a server of "fixed" movies and streaming that movie to people. It would be a pointless money sink when they can get woke good boy points for doing something else that actually generates profit. Beyond that, discs can't be overwritten with a firmware patch to the player.
When the apocalypse comes, reading the blurbs on the back of those cases will become the only way to experience kino.
My PS3 has been offline for the past 3 years to stop Sony from remotely bricking my system so I'll buy a PS5. If you're afraid of that future then you should be buying blurays right NOW before the tech to remotely disable blurays get implemented, they can't retroactively do that to the blurays and bluray players sold now. Maybe it's too late for 4k players idk.
i just pirate everything. as everything digital has the potential to be pirated that also means that essentially, i own every piece of media that ever existed, i just haven't pulled it out of my infinite internet library yet
and no i don't give a shit about not having internet or power. if there was no power you couldn't watch your shit with a dvd either. if there was no internet i already have a bunch of shit saved. if there was no power and no internet indefinitely then who the frick would even be watching movies anymore.
the only anon to make a fair point for physical and no pirating is
not really they will sell for heaps in 20 years
i just bought heavyweights on blu ray at goodwill for 2.99
Still waiting for Fraiser to go on sale
>not already owning the Christmas compilation
NGMI
It was never about the DVDs or the HD-DVDs or even the Blu-Rays, its about the journey and the friends you made along the way
No. I'm keeping all of my DVDs because I'm a physical media chad. Frick digital media, I will NEVER embrace digital media because of its israeli nature.
What is going on in this thread? You can't "rewrite" DVDs or Blu Rays through "updates pushed through your player" and there is nothing to digitally "brick" on a player. Did one anon just start schizo posting and the rest of you brainlets fell for it?
Checked but I already got this thread
those discs are infact rewritable once, but it won;t be playable anymoe, you're just replacing the film shit with unreadable shit
as for bricking a player it could be done xbox360 anti kingkong style;
just push a software/firmware update which burns or busts capacitors/circuity/the laser components themselves
Who the frick "updates the firmware" on their DVD/Blu Ray player? I have never done that in my life. Are you morons just talking about using your consoles or PCs to play movies or something? Because I have never heard of updating firmware on a standalone player. You schizos need to either take your meds or start differentiating between consoles and players
A lot of stand-alone players are smart devices that allow you to use streaming apps as well. I use my Xbox for blu rays, because that’s what’s hookup up to the tv, but my mom’s blu ray player does give itself updates on occasion.
Dedicated bluray players have been online with firmware updates since at least 2010. It's not required to connect them to the internet as far as I know.
That's yout own technology illiteracy. The updates are usually to iron out bugs in media file format playback. Sometimes it adds formats that couldn't originally be played in the player. For players with connectivity features, there can be security exploits to fix.
I dont like dicking around in a folder to watch movies, or going on streaming service and being visually assaulted by rainbow flag and god knows what else.
Call me a boomer but I like the simple ritual of taking movie out of a case and putting it in the machine.
no ones gonna call you a boomer
go listen to your retro vinyls zoomer
VHSbros... it's over...
VHS sucked ass, I only miss the big cases that were associated with them that allowed nice thick spine art.
