Really cool.

But why not just have them handle the blu rays directly? Unless - you ripped them to your Plex and resold them…




Or you store them away because once you've ripped them, you no longer need access to the physical item. So there's no point on having them using up the valuable space of the living room.


OP here.

Fair question! I have all the disks. They're in the garage gathering dust.

My kids are 3 and 2, so letting them handle the disks isn't a great idea right now. Might do that one day though!


Mine are 3 an 0. The three year old handles them fine - but kids are different;)


Because plastic disks attract scratches and kids can be rough with their toys.


But that's how OP did it in their youth and they seemingly grow up well.

It does seem that some parts of the story is missing. Maybe it's to safeguard the blurays or maybe they never existed in the first place?


OP here

I do have all the Blurays. They're collecting dust in the garage ;)

My kids are only 3 and 2. They would probably destroy the disks and the player in no-time. Also: I don't have a Bluray player connected to the TV (apart from the Playstation, which I definitely don't want them to fiddle with yet). I use an old computer to rip the discs.

I might let them use the discs when they're a bit older.


Then they will have learned a valuable lesson
