I wanna seed a few discussions here... Anyone else look for HD-DVDs or 4K discs? I lucked out to find a HD-DVD player for 14$ with remote, and a XBOX drive that I can't figure out how to use on a PC. I'm still holding out to see if I can find a 4K Blu-ray player next.

So far I found the first season of Battlestar Galactica on HD-DVD in a nice picture case. Found Midway on a 4K/Blu-ray release, I don't even think I'd enjoy the movie, but how cool is that?

No idea what I'm doing here so I'll just type out whatever pops into my head.

Has anyone noticed that in the last few months the offer of DVDs and Blu-rays at Renaissance has shrunk and on top of it, the prices vary a lot store by store? Some Renaissances sell Blu-rays at $4.50 while some like Cote Des Neiges are at $8?

And you still need to check for scratches, or missing discs, or if it's the right disc.

Yeah I figured as much as soon as I hit submit.

If you need extra lights in summer, in daytime, on a cloudless noon, you shouldn't be riding a vehicle. What gives you the right to blind and annoy oncoming pedestrians and drivers because of your misguided paranoia?

And typically, from my observations, the people crowing about biking being dangerous and they need safety ... wear earbuds. Sure, seal off one of your senses and then complain about safety. We biked for decades without piercingly blinding Cree LEDs taped on our bodies 24/7.

Not just cars, goofy cyclists too. Broad daylight, high noon on a cloudless summer day, somehow, cyclists need piercingly blinding bright little lamps on their handlebars. Or their helmets. Or their armbands. Or all at the same time. Cheap electronics from China make this possible. Backpacks. I couldn't believe what I was seeing the other day, a guy dressed like a manga-ninja, all black with a face mask, and a backpack covered in LEDs.

We shouldn't have caved back in the Arrow days.
