Yeah I noticed that. They're Green and say Save. But, Snow White: Platinum was Red and said Add. And, the Little Mermaid: Limited Issue. And the Peter Pan: Special Edition. They were all available, but are out of print.
Of course, the Sleeping Beauty: Special Edition is out of print and that's freaking tragic. That's my favorite Disney movie. Of all time.

Hmmm, doesn't sound like a totally bad thing, but I think for now I'll stick to "renting" from uTorrent.

Depends on a couple of things. What it's max burn speed is, what it burns (CD's, DVD's, Data), and if it's to be physically attached to your cpu or externally hooked up through a USB port. I guess I'm not totally sure since the laptop I'm currently using came with one pre-installed, but when I purchased one a few years ago for my old desktop cpu I think I got one that'd do the job for around $80-$90. The one I have now is pretty cool though as it's Lightscribe equipped, which means I can also laserprint actual images and cover art onto the top of my CD's/DVD's/Data discs. You'd never know my DVD's weren't the real thing just by looking at them. Piracy's come a long, long way.................. ;D

^^^ Generally, if you can watch DVDs with your drive, then you probably can burn them too. Look on the outside of the loader tray for certain logos. If you see either "DVD Multi-recorder" or "RW DVD + DL" or something along those lines, than you can. If you don't, well then you probably can't. Anyways, if it turns out you can, let me know. I can hook you up with some programs and tips that'll help you decode/recode and shrink the file sizes so you can fit a whole movie on a standard DVD disc while retaining quality video and audio from the original (This process is by far the biggest pain in the ass of using torrents to get your movie fix). I can also show you how to build some nice menus and title screens if you wanna go all out.

Even if it can burn DVDs, there's three different formats, so you need to know which your's is capable of; DVD-R(W), DVD+R(W), DVD-RAM. Usually newer burners handle the first two, but DVD-RAM isn't as common. DVD-RAM can hold a shitload of info too, but your DVD player probably won't play them, so you're stuck with watching them on your PC. I think DVD-RAM was designed more for backing up large amounts of data, instead of movies. Also some players, mostly older ones, are picky over +R and -R. My PS2 will play one, but not the other--actually it won't read either now because it's old, and pretty much on it's last leg. This is the burner I have, and so far I've got no complaints: www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827129007

Don't worry about format or anything like that, the program I'm gonna hook you up with will allow you to convert the file into just about any format you need that'll be compatible with whatever you use to watch DVDs. And it'll also make sure the audio is compressed right and in sync with the video in the final project. It'll all seem REALLY overwhelming at first, but this program does a nice job walking newbies through the perils and pitfalls. I'll do a little searching to find out where you can pick up this program for free. I'll let you know in a P.M. where you can get it 'cuz posting it here in the public board could end up getting me in some trouble someday.

Ok, I'll do some searching and let you know where you can find the program. That way you'll have it and when you're ready to do some burning, let me know and I can give you some pointers.

I've never even been in a Blockbuster, usually if I rent, I do it from Movie Gallery.
But it's pretty much all NetFlix now, best thing that ever happened to the Internet was that website.
