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

Found the millenial

millenial? Some of us are now in our forties. We grew up in the format wars

the VHS vs Beta format wars, not the HD-DVD vs Blu-ray format wars for the young'ns out there.

Digital format wars were a thing while Blockbuster was still around. They know both

How quickly we forget Laserdisc and Video CDs.

Oh and UMD, but I don't think "I want to watch a movie in poor quality on a tiny screen on a device that'll probably run out of battery before the movie finishes" was a market anybody was really interested in.

Sony minidisc says hi :p

I remember a time when i was hoping they'll implement the minidisc as an alternate removerable storage for PC. More robust compared to floppy disks, less delicate compared to CDR, and is rewritable too. LOL

I remember ripping a CD to one with an optical cable. It split by tracks and everything.

I felt like Johnny Mnemonic.

I think they're saying the opposite: millennials as "boomers" so-to-speak.

Millennial because they grew up only knowing MP3s and digital media and didn't get to experience disc based media. :p

What in the world??

I’m a millennial and I grew up with 8 tracks and cassettes. I was in grade school when we got our first CD player.
