It was sarcasm lol, I could use one myself, I just don't feel like dropping $20 or so on a decent one that I can use to burn disks the once in a blue moon that I want to, or read shiz from a disk which I also hardly ever do...

They are something to have, but not used as much anymore. An external ODD is a great solution these days :)

I know, right? 99% of people say that ODDs are dumb, yet it is very necessary, even for me... I rather buy a physical copy of a game, and not download it... games are getting bigger and bigger and my shitty 300kbps download speed cringes like sh*t

I and many people I know still use ODDs a lot. Reason why? Car too new for cassette adapter, too old for aux input, too broke to get an aftermarket stereo. MP3 CD ftw

"Rawr XD"

Lol, my car has both a ODD and cassette player xD

Probs gonna rip em both out or something and replace the ODD with a little storage compartment for shit like my phone and upgrade the receiver/cassette player to something better.

Very true, also in some instances using ODD is faster than using internet to get a piece of software on to a computer. My internet is by no means fast (12mbps down, 7mbps up) it would be faster for me to install via a disk rather than my internet [Fortunately Steam does allow for you to get a physical game copy/key and integrate that game into Steam.]

 

Also where is the Floppy subforum.

Sarcasm right? 

a Moo Floof connoisseur and curator.

To anyone saying they are useless, I still use my blueray ODD all the time. 

Wishing leads to ambition and ambition leads to motivation and motivation leads to me building an illegal rocket ship in my backyard.

I would only see it for installing Windows.
