If I had a nickel for every time I saw a feature which demoes well to execs and press but isn’t actually useful to the customers of the product, I’d be able to retire by now.

Holy Cow. #SundayPix #SundayPixSky

¿Alguien conoce sitios aparte de Cex/Cash converters/Ebay/Wallapop donde comprar películas en blu-ray de segunda mano?
