Where do you guys get your physical movies?

seems like everyone I know has their own specific way of sourcing movies, so I'm curious... what's your go-to method?🤷

Haven't seen this one yet. OP is borderline off-topic🤣

Stealing 🙂 , Amazon, kiosks, discount stores, thrift shops, trading, or even long-term rentals.... 😂

Now you're seeing it clearly😛 😁

they gathered about 1,200 of them 🙂

Do you actually own more than what was at the video rental store?
And did you actually watch every single one?

Haven't even watched half of them yet 🙂
but I'm still out here collecting them, lol
It's an addiction

🙄 Okay, this sounds a bit strange to me—I've honestly never heard of this kind of addiction before.😁
So basically, anyone who happens to be within arm's reach is a victim?🤣

There are all kinds of addictions out there. I think mine is pretty mild 🙂

I honestly thought I was the only one... thanks for the heads up, Lawrence Sanders4, now I know I'm not alone in this mess 👍

🙂..Check the catalog if you're already here 🙂

How on earth do you hold onto all that? 😲
(I've got a bit of a hoarding problem myself—maybe I'm just saving up for retirement?)

lol...just cleared some junk out of my closet...I basically walk around looking like a total bum, but hey, at least my movie collection is stacked. 🙂

lived (for maybe two pages), Rapidshare and torrents... the only issue is... I've run out of space to store movies! 😁 😁 😁 😁

Jacob Thomas93 said:I used to use things like Mega or torrenting... the issue is I've run out of hard drive space for all these movies! 😁 😁 😁 😁

Yeah, well, that’s become an issue for me too—I guess I just hate deleting stuff off my drive...

James Rogers53 said:— yeah, I’m running into that exact same issue... feels wrong just deleting stuff from the hard drive...

ah... probably should just grab another drive, maybe an external one around 350GB—just to have somewhere to dump things for a bit... if I had unlimited data, too... I'd probably fill it up in a month or two...

I'm basically figuring out 🤷 newsstands, profiles, algorithms (like when those discounts hit), recording stuff off the TV, long-term rentals, downloads, and all that good stuff 🤷

btw—can someone walk me through this storage capacity thing? Because from what I understand, the physical volume of those DVDs and CDs is basically identical 😁.

So, if you have 120 DVDs, you could fit 120 * 6 DivX files, assuming they're around 700 MB each 😁

Torrents are king, honestly.
The connection speed helps too—I can pull down a full movie in under an hour these days.
My collection has grown to about 300 DVDs and maybe 1,400 movies total if I’m counting right...
plus there's all sorts of other stuff floating around in my digital stash.
My folks are always breathing down my neck, asking why on earth I need any of this...
P.S. I haven't actually sat through all of them, but my buddy has seen pretty much 90% of the lot.

I really ought to track down an original DVDI believe in love, yet it remains elusive.

I have scoured local video stores and various retailers, but nothing...

If anyone could assist...
