But… Rot is life?

My only argument I can come up with is that other people have friends, so $25 will be less than going to the cinema because they don’t have to pay that price for each person watching. It’s still ridiculously expensive though.

Given your username it’s probably for the best.

5.1.4 surround. I use an nvidia Shield for playing back files (via kodi), and it works pretty well.
