^^ can't wait till they go on sale for 50 bucks, maybe xmas?
Used Bluray 3 pack on ebay 11 bucks.

I got a Paradigm PW-2200 sub off Craigslist for 200 bucks. The guy I got it from is a mover, and apparently when moving some rich folk they just let him have it for free. After knocking a few pictures off the walls and his neighbors threatening to call the police, his wife made him sell it though.

On a different note, I found a picture of j_garcia the other day:

Find Gary Busey!!!!

I did think he was kind of an odd choice for ANY kind of advertising....

Hello Lamp lol. I just heard the commercial again had me crying laughing. Pure genius to get Busey.

You could have bought one buy now - instead of buying all
them movies. You can stream them (movies) from Amazon.

Hey Z, I only buy the ones I will watch for PQ/SQ that I'd watch over and over and streaming is just not the same sometimes, although some have good pic/sound, but just not BD/DVD quality. Also remember I don't spend 20-30 bucks when they come out. I wait till they are $12 or less.

In its current stock form, it is not worth the $99. I only bought it because you can sideload apps not available in Amazon's app store, and XBMC happens to work quite well with it. The $99 was worth it for me.

So that means you can add Pandora, HBOgo, etc to the box? Not too familiar with XBMC.

 

[Lulimet]

Pandora is available in the app store. No need to sideload it. I am not sure about HBOgo as I don't have a subscription to it.

That is why I own the Sony and Panasonic Bluray players - I need no help from
that Fire.

I will buy some movies - however, some I just stream off the Bluray player.
The Sony 5100 is a good one - some movies and the sound are real nice.

The Fire is not for me.

I've owned 3 different Panasonic players. They don't stream or function anywhere near as well as the FireTV. My benchmark were the PS3 and PS4, which are both quite good at streaming and this one is better than both of them.

I don't buy that many movies anymore either. I still have too many.

I just bought a Panasonic and Sony Bluray player - The Sony is the better one
to me. The streaming is working fine/good. I am not one for many boxes.

I can see where some people will enjoy the Fire/TV - however, the less I have
to hook-up and plug in, the happier I am.

Exactly, and I picked it up to put into the second system, hopefully to replace the Panny. I almost never use the Panny and even though it is pretty small, it lacks analog outs and this system is analog, so I can't listen to CDs on it without the TV involved; that means I don't have a lot of use for it. The Fire is so small it isn't like there's even another box in the system; it is smaller in size than a CD and almost as thin as one. Main system has only the PS4 and the Oppo and that's about as few sources as I could do.

I decided to try out a Philips Bluetooth adapter AEA2000/37 and I'll be damned if that thing doesn't work way better than it should. I wanted it for playing music while I'm out on the patio or on the toilet so range was important to me and I'm shocked how far the signal carries even far out of sight. For 20 bucks you cant beat it.
