After I watched Love Exposure a couple months ago I saw there was an Arrow Blu-Ray of the movie and I was keeping my eye on it. Seems like a good time to grab it and some other things. I'm just going to float it out in the world but I hope some day they put Ping Pong out on blu-ray (Not the animated one this one) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentbob Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Did my tax return and instead of saving it, I’m spending a bit of it on Ralph Breaks The Internet 4K/3D and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania 4K/3D steelbook from Japan (same art as Best Buy Steelbook) Did that Saturday and Ralph will be here tomorrow. Last time I checked, it was at a sorting facility in Cincinnati as of 6am this morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 possibly a physical media sin but i was wondering if any of you had any recommendations for what i could buy to store some of my discs in a smaller space. everybody used to have those binders for CDs. i was thinking of something along those lines but i want it to be something that would keep my discs scratch free. i have 3 full bookshelves of blu rays/4ks and want to free up about 1 of them.

Yeah I’m up there with you on having at least 3 bookshelves worth of movies, I’m probably closer to 6 or 7. I have chest full of my dvds, bookshelf in the hall with 4 shelves taken, 2 crates at the front, 4 at my door, 2 under the bed and shit load at the foot of my bed on one of my 2 subwoofers. Then I bought these in the past 2 weeks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoberChef Posted July 18, 2023 Author Share Posted July 18, 2023 @johnnyWhile it may not be what you were specifically asking for, personally speaking, I am looking to obtaining these down the road for clearing up space & as a means to attempt to reorganize my collection. Just ensure that if you do, you snag the metal lazy susan piece offered below the product as that will ensure your tower a long life (the factory spinner is a POS once the tower is even half capacity FYI.)

Rev Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 8 hours ago, SoberChef said: Well I'd love to hear their thoughts & opinions on the tech & how they're utilizing it! I'd look up the Rokid Max first. It's the same price but better specs and better build quality imo. Both Stepee and I have used both sets. The arms of the Xreal Air snapped off for me from normal use but I've had the Rokids for a while now and they're still perfect. The Rokids are also capable of 120hz (though I almost never use it). There's a thread here where we talked about them a bunch. If you search the terms you'll find it. I'll just add that I use them every day and they might be my all-time favorite electronic gadget. I mostly use them to watch tv/movies and play games in bed. I actually haven't used my 72" 4k tv in my living room for games in several months because of them. I moved my whole PS5 into my bedroom where there is no TV so I could plug these into it and play it in bed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 I don’t use my Rokid Max as much as I want too, but they always impress whoever tries them on. Image is overall very sharp and saturated looking, but the edges blur a bit if you adjust the focus diopters for the lenses. My sister in law loved them when she tried them on while nursing her newborn, and I think she wants a pair of her own now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Yeah using the diopter adjustment on all of these glasses will blur the edges. I think that's currently a limit of the tech since your eyes are moving but the lens is static. When I want a really good visual experience I just wear contacts with them and then it's all totally clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the past few months WB, Universal and (for a while now) Lionsgate have dropped the digital copy codes from their newest disc releases. Warner Bros has even dropped the blu-ray copy, minus steelbook release (The Flash for example) We had another digital movie site fold years ago in Canada but thankfully was able to be transfer for free 99% of my collection over to Google Play. Still lost a movie or 2, but forget which ones. I just don’t trust my digital collection to always be there. I trust myself with my physical discs, I have them in my hand, and it’s on me if I fucking misplace/break the movie. Although I guess I should invest in a couple replacement uhd players, even though I have a PS5 and XBox One X. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted September 9, 2023 Author Share Posted September 9, 2023 My intention is to have a dedicated 4K player before end of the year (even if it means begging for one as a combined birthday/xmas gift.)

Dolby Vision)are pretty much region free players out of the box. So if you want good I would look at least at the UB820 for a purchase.
