Tenth anniversary of the DVD...in America anyway

[GameMaster]

I rent movies from Netflix and check them out from the library as well and then burn copies of them if I enjoy the film.

My first DVD player was my old iMac. And I think my first DVD was Pokemon: The Movie 2000.

I just blasted through all five seasons of 24 and am now watching Firefly.

I currently watch DVDs on my Xbox 360. And it works wonderfully. Never skips or freezes.

The first DVD I watched was X-men when I set up my home theater. I still remember the Shinnnnnnnngggggg sound going past three speakers when wolverine drew his claws. I also remember borrowing The Matrix and that was my favourite DVD to watch.

Then I got the Xbox playback kit and I watched DVDs on my Xbox downstairs because my mom and dad used the home theater a lot. I watched movies with them upstairs. I didn't watch much downstairs, but then my girlfriend introduced me to Arrested Development and Firefly, and I watched those downstairs. I never used the PS2's DVD because it was a piece of crap.

Now here I am, and my newest laptop, the mac, watches DVDs. I've watch 3 seasons of 24 for free from my campus library now, as well as a bunch of documentaries, some CSI: Miami, and everything I own, including seasons of Miami Vice. I also have watched Lost and Miami Vice with my girlfriend on my Xbox 360 once I got s-video for it.

DVD's been great. I don't see myself going HD for a long time.

Same here!... Only I don't have a kickin' home theater setup so much as a 32" SDTV with a couple gigantic speakers from the 70s or 80s sitting next to it...

I no longer have that particular X-men DVD (or any of the X-men movies for that matter), though I have since then amassed a collection of just about 200 DVDs, most of which are films, though I own maybe 10 TV/Misc. DVDs including the likes of The Beatles Anthology...

The latest addition to my collection was all 21 Bond films, thanks to Amazon's very nice 1-day limited quantity sale on all 4 boxed sets... And Casino Royale's release...

Good times, DVDs... Good times...

Am I the only one whose PS2 hasn't given them trouble with DVDs? Not that I used it often for playing DVDs though.

After not working for a couple of years and being flat out broke, I started a new job in March 2002. I remember planning to use my first paycheck on getting a DVD player. I got the Panasonic RV32.

No, it worked, just not well.

My PS2's never given me trouble with DVDs...
