    I, too, do not care. Because I know you were just dying for my input...

        It's not a pain, though... we can watch on the TV or on the PC, and download it entirely without having to stream.
        Yes, I know netflix is cheaper, I meant XBLM which I think is generally the same price. I'm not a bitrate fiend, the iTunes quality is fine (Especially on a 22" monitor). It's easy, we're lazy.

          It's easier to do it my way. And far cheaper.

            Discussing different methods of paying for digital media is really silly.

              I know you're not joking, and I wouldn't be surprised if you were correct.

                  What country do I live in? What does the last "A" stans for in MPAA? Are you not aware of Canada's laws?

                    You forget your country is run by a bunch of liberal pansies. The MPAA will tell them to suck it and they'll ask how hard...

                      It's the conservatives that are trying to bend over to the Canadian equivalent, the other parties are fighting it.

                      Still, right now there's nothing they can do.

                        YES! May the divine will of Allah cast Blockbuster into the pits of hell.

                        Blockbuster is the main reason why I stopped renting DVDs a long time ago. I don't know what it is about the retarded customer base but I'm not joking when I say that 9 out of 10 DVDs I rented were scratched to sh*t.

                        How is that possible to get these massive gouges that make the movies unwatchable? Do people think its some kind of Frisbee rental or something? The last time I rented a DVD, I went back twice in an attempt to get a non-damaged copy before I finally thought "f*ck it! it's not worth the headache." I piss on Blockbuster and I'm glad it will be gone.

                        Having a good movie suddenly stop and reset because of a damaged sector is as bad as blue balls.

                          Another greedy, corrupt, and mismanaged company bites the dust in the times of trial...

                          So it is done.

                            I've been boycotting them since they bought up Music Plus, their biggest competitor. Zkribblers don't like monopolies.
