Digital copy a hit with consumers, says NPD survey

Consumers have taken a liking to DVD and Blu-ray Disc digital copy, especially when files are embedded into discs as opposed to being downloaded, according to an NPD Group survey.

Digital copy is proving to fit into consumers' evolving lifestyles, in which more time is spent viewing entertainment on devices other than their TV sets.

Three out of four DVD and Blu-ray buyers who watch movies or TV shows on portable devices say they're interested in buying physical discs holding a digital copy, according to NPD. The research concern also found that more than half of DVD and/or Blu-ray buyers have watched a full-length TV show or movie on a portable device.

When given a choice, 79% of survey respondents said they would rather transfer files from discs than download the content from the Internet.

of people who want a hard copy of what they are buying.

I don't think DD is going to come around as quickly as some might think.

Blu-ray is definitely the next thing and it'll be quite some time before people move over to DD only.

That and ISP caps. My ISP caps upload and download at 100gigs/month and what thats like 5-6 HD movies. DD has a long way to go.

kalel3335609d ago

ISP caps is the real problem in my opinion and the lack of steady download speeds (for me at least) , I'm capped at 20gb download and 10 gb upload a month ! :o. Now you all know that we can't live with so little, but they charge me 7$and 75 cents for every extra gig !! Thank God it's only $50 max but it still hurts my wallet at the end of the month ! Blu ray and DVD BABY !!!

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

We don't want another RTX 4080, but this lesser-known brand is releasing one anyway

Even though the Super is out, this Chinese brand is releasing a base RTX 4080 - and it comes with AIO liquid cooling and a striking design.

It's probably for farming.
