    I think the implication was they wanted the actual physical part, not just access to lots of movies

      Re-thinking it, I think that would be kinda cool.

      It’s not far off from people who own jukeboxes

      Burning all the DVDs would be a pain in the ass, but I do have most of a spindle that I haven’t touched since…2013?

        No, if you’re going to have a DVD jukebox, you’re going to buy them. No burning. You can get tons of great random movies from pawn shops and other stores. That would be half the fun of it.

          Naw, if I’m going to have a DVD jukebox, it’s gonna be as bootleg as it gets. Converting AVIs to whatever the fuck format DVD players understand was a pain in the ass then, I’m sure converting MKVs backwards to the same format is still equally annoying, but it’s the principle of the thing.
