@4 You nailed it right on the head. With the advent of 60″ plasmas and home projection screens theres no need for the cinemas. It used to be a fun night out years ago but it’s pointless now. Maybe its fun for the teeny boppers on a Friday night but thats about as far as it goes. Who wouldn’t prefer sitting in their Lazy-Boy recliner watching their personal Hi-Def projection screen with their full HD surround sound system as opposed to a crap audio/video setup at the theater?

Not only that, you get the luxury of paying $10 for a soda, having people talk through the entire movie, sitting in soda and stepping in gum, and having the tallest person on earth sit in front of you at the theater. Theaters are going the way of the dinosaur.

Here in Germany looks kinda better than other places. I pay 45€for 16/1 Mgb download/upload. and there’s even kable companies that offer 32Mgb for 55€ or something. Sorry for those with expensive connection, monopoly sucks

@37

Exactly. Should have had “I stopped going to the cinema ages ago because people can’t STFU for an hour and a half” as an option.

Here in Belgium 99% of the providers ask 40€ (thats roughly 55$) for a 4 Mbit connection with 256kbs upload and a downloadlimit of 20 Gb

Providers suck here…

I have requested this before, and I will ask again. Could you at least reorder the poll in terms of votes either in ascending or descending order. It makes it more easier to digest the data at a glance. Thanks.

@spacebucket1000: For me the cost for 100/100 is about $43-44 or 29€ (274 SEK), roughly the same as Ypsilon. That’s with unlimited bandwith, limited would be cheaper but pretty useless. This is all thanks to it being fiber, instead of DSL/Cable. Those services are much more expensive in comparison even here.

I hope your ISP comes to it’s senses and starts offering better plans or at least remove the limit. Wouldn’t count on it though. They are probably to conservative.

@spacebucket1000

I pay ~50 USD or ~35 Euro, in Sweden it is 320 kr, some time ago they wanted to changed so I had downloading limit but I refursed, I would get it cheaper then.

I’m living in Greece where internet was until last summer way to slow, but private companies (with problems at the beginning) brought 24MBS lines (well you see most 18 in downloading), but i guess it was a huge step to have for example a 700mb movie in less than 10 mins. And we pay for this and unlimited local or international calls less than 40Euros. I guess thats good for the moment.
As for the big screen i would go there if there is a movie that is good enough to see it there say for example… Indiana Jones , i wouldn’t like to wait a bad camera or later a mediocre R5..

This new poll is missing something. Many of us burn our stuff onto DVD. I have close to 1000 DVD so that would be 4TB of crap.

I’m assuming the new poll refers to individual drives, rather than how much HD space *total* you have.
