Phil Spencer isn't the problem, It's Microsoft that is as he answers to them and their shareholders.

Guess I'm going to eat crow now as I said Nintendo announcing it today would be a bust

I leave them as mkv. Converting mkv to mp4 just too much time when I'm already converting my blu ray collection into my digital library. Converting movies to mp4 from mkv is okay, but doing it for tv series is just too time-consuming

so it's may 7th and can we say this rumor is a bust as nintendo has not announced anything about its online service?

Yes any drive should work. I use makemkv to rip the blu ray discs. So far, I have filled up 50% of 8tb external hdd. Mostly because of tv seasons

do you have computer own when you want to stream to your tv?

Let's give it a few years before we start giving out prizes to anyone. I''m going to be a debbie downer and say I don't 100% trust north korea and there is the humanitarian crimes the Kim family has done to the people of North Korea.

I am thinking of getting one down the line as I have been digitizing my blu ray collection for the past month. For those who have done so, did you bought a nas serve, built your on nas server, or bought a cheap pc?

i too and am thinking of getting a new gpu even i only had a gtx 1060 for two years unless the price is too high

oh you were talking about harry potter. that makes things awkward then....
