    "One day you’ll barter bread for our DVDs"

    Interesting article in The Guardian about people insisting on physical media because "this phase of streaming" kind of sucks. They probably don't know about Kaleidescape... :)...

    Movies on Sale...

    Same, Had been sitting in my D2D at more than double that price for a long time.

    Store Sort By Price

    I think we're saying the same thing. "Filter by price" without HDR shows mostly D2D deals I don't want to do and rental-only. Which means it's more work than I care to do to find attractively priced purchases, which is the goal of this search.

    Store Sort By Price

    That's a good hack. It looks like there aren't rentals that are HDR. But I do often buy movies that are HD or UHD so ... I dunno.

    Store Sort By Price

    This sort is pretty busted, though, because it includes rental prices, so basically everything on the less expensive end is a rental.

    NEWS: Bad news from Zappiti?

    This is almost certainly correct. If the product relies on web services, those services will almost certainly cease to be supported sooner rather than later. The hardware itself (and locally-installed software) should continue to work, but there will be no updates after (typically) a very short...

    It would be really great if they could add this toggle as a feature. With the D2D program now being a far bigger part of many user's experiences, this is a pretty valuable feature. As someone who got into KScape as a direct consequence of this program being brought back in, I'd love to see them...

    Movies on Sale...

    Honestly, I don't feel insulted. My alternative is to take my family of four to see this movie in the theater, which all in is over $100. I have zero doubt that if I want to wait a month or three this will be $25 or whatever. But if I want to watch it now and be part of the zeitgeist discussion...

    New Kscape Products

    How much? There are a couple of college funds that can be tapped for a good cause.

    New Kscape Products

    Ok, to what city do I move to get 10Gb fiber? I will pick up my family and move tomorrow.

    Movies on Sale...

    I think there is an assumption that the people willing to pay what K charges are the same people willing to pay a premium to watch movies when they are first released. This is probably a pretty good assumption.

    Store "Glitch" on Marvel movies?

    I'm the same. When I first got K I went pretty nuts buying these collections, but really ... when will I find time to watch all the Star Trek movies given how many new movies (and TV) are on my list? Marvel is the same - am I really going to watch Eternals or Quantumania again... ever? But is it...

    Store "Glitch" on Marvel movies?

    You needed to buy four Marvel movies to qualify for the bundle.

    New Kaleidescape Remote

    You're right, I was looking up the current generation Strato C/S not the original Strato. The 2017 release was (I think) the last hardware refresh.

    Advice on Lord of the Rings Movies

    I love the extended versions but I'm not sure they are actually *better* movies. As a fan, I want as much as I can, but the narrative flow of the theatrical releases is, in my view, tighter, and when I watch these movies with more casual fans I reach for the theatrical versions.
