Last post by Grindspine - December 27, 2025, 07:56:52 PMChristmas DVD/Blu Ray sets;
Rick & Morty
Psych complete series
Metalocolypse: Army of the Doomstar
Call of the Night
Pom Poko
The Boy and the Heron
That leads me to the question, what physical media player are ya'll using for DVD and Blu Ray nowadays? I still have my trusty old PS3 (upgraded with SSD), but want to also have a 4k Blu Ray capable player on hand. Is PS4/PS5 still the best way to go for that?

General Discussion / Transformers One
Last post by BLUEVOODU - December 26, 2025, 08:17:30 PMWe just saw Transformers One... we were hoping it would hit prime and it did. It's the only service we still pay for at this time. We missed it in the theater when it came out... but happy we were able to finally catch it!
Transformers One was, in our opinion, an awesome movie. It had a pretty awesome message. It was also interesting to see Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg were both involved in this movie. Personally... we really dug the message and it definitely is interesting in the timing. The animation and action was not too crazy for an animated film and were extremely well done. The Music was also really really well done. Personal opinion --> Extremely well done and 100% worth a view and even repeated views.
Have you been able to check this movie out? If so, what are your thoughts and what did you like (or not) about the movie?
Thoughts, Comments... Post it up!

Last post by CreepinDeth - December 26, 2025, 07:18:10 PMI will post pictures when I get a chance but got a few gaming related things.
First, I got "The world's smallest" Atari 2600 console. It comes with this little tiny console, joystick and a tiny CRT TV. Comes with 10 games. Pretty cute and functional. Still haven't set it up but can't wait to play it.
Second, I got the 8bitdo 64 Bluetooth controller. This is the controller that was specifically made for Analogue's Analogue 3D console. Which is a Nintendo64 FPGA console. I'm going to use it for N64 emulation on my PC though as I don't have the console.
Third, got the Game Boy Lego set.

Last post by CreepinDeth - December 26, 2025, 07:04:08 PMI got the Fantastic Four: First Steps and Thunderbolts movies on 4K Blu-ray for Christmas. 
Now that Christmas is over, I can spend some money next year on buying up some more physical media.
EDIT: Almost forgot. I also got the complete DVD collection of The Critic. The animated show that came out in the '90's and the main character was voiced by Jon Lovitz.

It absolutely will. Almost all of our electronics nowadays use RAM or some form of storage chip. From our cars, to our appliances.

Last post by retro junkie - December 26, 2025, 06:34:05 PMhmmm.... I think I put this in the wrong thread today...............
Just got four DVDs of the 1948 Dick Tracy movies, all for $5 with a little over $4 shipping. I am trying to get all of the old Charlie Chan movies with Sidney Toler playing the lead role. 1938 stuff. Also trying to get all of the Mr Moto DVDs with Peter Lorre, also around the same time period. There is just something about a lot of those old movies that had a certain quality in the acting and production.

Last post by BLUEVOODU - December 26, 2025, 01:48:32 PMIt looks like they are now predicting for the increases to stick around until 2027-2028. That's just mind boggling. IE Western Digital hard drive prices skyrocketed once due to factory fire for many months... not years. Same thing for Dell Laptop batteries - factory fire... a laptop battery skyrocketed to $300+ for 3-6 months, I think it was.
This also does not take any other factors into place where production issues could occur. Pretty crazy, it seems like we are in the long haul for this issue ... and yes, I'm calling this an big issue that affects consumers.
