    Re: How future-proof is ultraviolet?

    I have a better one. This may be a bit of a news flash, but a lot of folk will rip a physical disc and share it by passing a memory stick around.

    Now, okay for one or two movies, but that is not it. It grows to be a monster with whole sites on the internet setup for file sharing and people amassing an amazing amount of local hard disc drive storage. Layered ontop of this is a custom LAN media server setup in everyone's home.

    All of this takes a lot of time, not to mention the emotional trauma from a local hdd crashing.

    Nah, forget all that noise. Give your friend a txt message indicating you want to link UV accounts. Five minutes later, you each have the other's ENTIRE collection. Zero hdd space was needed. Nor was any custom media server LAN setup needed.

    All the free time needed in the old method is again returned while the old crew sweat out passing 3 gig files around, A/V sync issues, codec mis-matching, etc...

    our digital copies are done by professionals and at a very low cost.

          And I'm out of movies to convert. Been digging thru the Walmart 788 bins and other discount boxes but not finding anything I want. Now if Disney and MGM opened up and started D2D then I could really spend some more money.

                Amen to that hahaha...

                I have the equipment but don't have the time & stress to re-rip and re-organize the blu ray library. After plenty of HDD crashes and media player glitches I have left that world long behind.

                  Re: How future-proof is ultraviolet?

                  You have a Bluray. Two choices:

                  One, you can become an expert at ripping into digital format. This is no small process, but let us just say it is possible with persistence to get high quality results.

                  Then store the file and arrange for playback in your home via some media server LAN technology. iTunes/AppleTV is one choice. PLEX/Roku another.

                  Each night before you go to bed, pray you do not have a hdd crash. The fear becomes parilizing.

                  You have just consumed a good chunk of one month of your free time.

                  OPTION #2:
                  Put the disc in your laptop and after about 17 seconds, a charge of $2.00, and two clicks of your mouse, you have a cloud stored version of your title done by a professional.

                    I'm worried Wally World may be discontinuing the $7.88 (blu bin). One of the Wally World stores I go to had their blu bin nearly empty one day. When I went back days later it was completely gone. Has anyone else noticed this?

                      I noticed my store has moved all the $7.88 titles out of the bin onto the shelves with all other titles intermixed in. At least the titles are arranged alphabetically.

                        Do you think once those are gone that's it or are you seeing new additions?

                          Probably, but I'm alright with that. I just want to convert my Blu to cloud. I'll pay 2 per...it's worth it.

                            One Wally World removed the bin. Another filled theirs to the rim...a few movies I didn't have but also didn't want. Norbit, who cares for that.

                              I have seen them restock titles that sold out, but I've seen very few additional titles added recently. They have added a few double and tripple feature sets for $12.96 though.

                                In my area, there are three Wal-Mart SuperCenters. They are each about a ten minute drive from where I live. Only one of these has a $7.88 Bluray Bin. I have been back a few times, and it is always full. Most of the time there are new titles too.

                                I think each Wal-Mart chooses their own floor displays to some extent, depending on what is selling well in that store. The two that do not have it are in what I would call more rural areas of the county. The one that does is right adjacent to a massive discount shopping mall "Concord Mills" and densely populated apartment communities.

                                I think the clientele at the Concord Mills Wal-Mart is different and that is why the BluBin gets more activity in that store.

                                This is just speculation though. I really have no way of knowing why the mystical blue bin appears in one store, but not another. It may be some spiritual condition need be met before it appears.
