No, I\u2019m not simply PMS-ing and in the mood for blowing a few bucks. When I woke up this morning, I just thought that my humble DVD collection has been neglected for months now and that it needs some lovin\u2019.\nYou see, I collect good films with good DVD boxes. \u00a0I\u2019m okay with having some DVD files in my laptop but I like that feeling of owning physical copies of the films that I like. It makes me feel like I\u2019m not cheap and that I have good taste. Ha! Two things that are very important to me. Some of you may want big paintings hanging on your wall or expensive furniture in your living room. I prefer having a collection of books, vinyl and DVDs.\nMost people may love downloading films because it\u2019s easy, it\u2019s eco, and it may cost $0. I don\u2019t. And I bet you won\u2019t like it much too if it\u2019s not free. Don\u2019t get me wrong. I\u2019m a film buff so I download a lot but I buy hard copies of the ones that I really love.\nI love the hard format because\u2026I love caressing the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/\"> packaging<\/a>, I love reading every bit of info about my favorite films (and not from my laptop, please!), I love smelling the pages, and \u00a0I love the kind of high I get everytime I open a new DVD.\nThat certain \u2018consumerist\u2019 high cannot be experienced with downloads. Yeah sure, you can enjoy the visuals and audio\u2026 there may be some free posters and perhaps a game, but you can\u2019t touch it. You can\u2019t smell it. With the hard format, you may experience the film or music with your five senses.\nSense of sight- the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/\">creative packaging<\/a> plus the film, of course.\nSense of hearing- the audio of the film, of course.\nSense of touch- the texture of the packaging\nSense of smell- Katy Perry\u2019s album has a cotton candy smell\nSense of taste- well, I don\u2019t know. Some packages come with edible freebies;-)\u2026my point is, you can\u2019t smell anything online.\nI love the hard format and I hope the creative guys would still keep creating creative ways to package DVDs.\n________________________________________________________________\n<strong>Unified Manufacturing<\/strong>\u00a0is an L.A. -based one-stop-shop that offers very affordable CD\/DVD\/USB replication, custom printing, promotional products, warehousing and fulfillment and many more.
