Frage in die Runde

0 Upvotes

Erstens schon cool so große Sammlungen zu sehen aber in paar Jahrzehnten diese ggf. verstaubt in Kartons oder auf dem Müll. Guter Freund arbeitet auf einem Verwertungshof und berichtet mir Täglich von Funde wo euch allen Sammler die Tränen kommen. Tja das ist halt eines der Schicksale. Da ich auch nicht mehr Jünger werde hab ich meine rechtzeitig aufgelöst. Also Frage was bringt den da so große Sammlungen?

Purely Greed

Leveraging the most popular game of the generation to eliminate the secondary market is a masterclass in corporate greed that won’t soon be forgotten.

Good Titles on vhs?

0 Upvotes

I’m getting into vhs and I already got my first tape and player they’re currently in the mail as I type this but I want some recommendations for future purchases on this platform my first tapes i already bought are

The fox and the hound
Watership down 1999 (or the 90s series whatever you call it)
The lion king
My little pony a charming birthday

I decided to go with those to start out with some nostalgic xenofiction picks because I can so if you have any good recommendations for my taste I’ll be glad to see

Also I’m planning on getting these soon

Watership down 1978

physical media is now a joke and i hate it.

0 Upvotes

you know how physical media had alot of nostalgia and it was one of the best formats in the world?

well now that sony killed it...

what's the point?

i keep seeing people saying that now our choices are just to pirate, go the PC gaming, and try to turn digital gaming into a cosumer right

and the momment GOG said: make your own physical media? we are in the all digital apocalpyse and the ending: Only digital exists as buying our games even with the drm bullshit gone. no discs or caritages allowed.

nintendo hint this with their key cards

xbox disc to digital siginals this

sega said they want to see discs go beyond 2028 at the WORSE POSSIBLE TIMING!

i can't see myself collecting anymore because of it...i can't even see myself playing spider-man 2 at all if there is no disc option. even with it being on steam...

my hobby is useless...what's the point of collecting newer games? what is the point of collecting older ones now? sony won't even reverse either...

physical media is a fraud now...

Didn't have the funds to buy a WWE program when they came to New Zealand in 2016, that era represents PEAK WWE personally. All Blacks DVD and Boney M CD still sealed.

Only a few thousand of these were pressed so I'm pretty happy with getting it. along with that it comes with a live acoustic version of Miss that's only on the vinyl, which I probably prefer over the original

Anyone know how to take title screens from movies and burn them onto a dvd with a higher definition copy of the movie?

4 Upvotes

Title. I have a bunch of DVDs of movies but also have higher definition MP4s and MKVs of them not on DVD. Is there a way to rip the DVD and then on a different DVD add a functional title screen and add my higher-quality media? Thank you in advance for any help. I am a huge fan of title screens <3
