If anybody in the USA is interested in a region-free blu-ray player - eviltoast

https://www.220-electronics.com/ is having a sale. I have bought several players from them and they’ve been great

Now, I know what your thinking, are region free players piracy? Well, it depends which country you live in

    I bought one recently for 4k BRs. It’s awful, even though I bought one of the highest-recommended ones. They’re still slow, lose your place, and generally suck. And if there’s any dirt on the disc, you’ve got a major problem, no matter how small the smudge.

    And that isn’t even counting the problems with the format, such as unskippable intros and copyright notices.

    Ripped media is so, so superior that it’s absolutely ridiculous.

      Oh God I totally forgot about the copyright FBI notices… How much collective time living has been wasted watching that wretched screen???
