I watch DVDs on my computer fairly often. My family isnt particularly wealthy. My dad has a DVD player that, for some reason, doesn't recognize anamorphic discs and plays them in full screen. We have a Playstation 2, but that's notorious for not playing a lot of DVDs (almost anything from Anchor Bay, for instance). And those are the only 2 DVD players we have. So for me, it's just more convenient to sit right here and watch them. Although, my monitor is fairly dark, but we have a 2nd computer with a flat screen, so I tend to use that one instead.
