VHS,DVD,HD-DVD,BLURAY…..

When and Where does this end. What’s next UltraMegaBlurayHD-DVDHologram cube discs? I talked to a man the other day that said he loved collecting movies…so much that he has 2000 movies…vhs movies…at $15-$20 each…thats about 30k-40k. Dumb or Dumber? He moved on to replace the collection with dvds. About 500 dvds into it, he heard a mention that dvds were done and HD DVDS were coming. Then the whole hd-dvd vs bluray battle began. When are we going to tell the movie industry hell no? Well guys…I told them no along time ago.

Windows Media Center is pretty well known but by the amount of support, apps and users….not well known enough. I started my video collection about 1 year ago and i’m up to about 1000 movies. Bluray rippers are now on the prowl and are starting to produce decent rips that are about 10gigs. I bought 2 western digital hard drives (1TB/each) for $99/each. Thats $0.10/gig. So if I download a 1 gig movie…it costs me $0.10 to store the movie. If I download a 10gig bluray…it cost me $1 to store.

Actors are way overpaid so therefore I DO NOT feel one ounce of guilt for doing this. Hollywood needs a wakeup call anyway. While millions of dollars are being paid to untalented actors for mediocre movies, the rest of the country are struggling to put food in their childrens mouths. I do love capitalism but when such things are going on…Hollywood is not getting my money.
