When was the last time you placed a DVD in your computer?

I feel like I might be in the minority in this situation but I think the last time I had a dvd in my laptop was when I was trying to rip the dark knight digital version of a disc, which sounds as dumb as it seems, why can't i use the itunes code on its own?

I dunno, the prospect of a drive less computer seems enticing, I mean everything is available as a download nowadays, maybe the macbook air would make sense in the future?

Star Wars trilogy, last semester. Watched all 3 in one night. Totally worth it.

The day Fallout: New Vegas came out and for some reason I had pre-ordered it from Gamestop. So...that was a while ago.

As in digital VIDEO disc, and not a digital VERSATILE disc? Man... it's been a while. I think I used a DVD audio disc like a month ago if that counts. It has a menu. What?

I possibly never have.

2 years ago when I was installing Windows 7

That's for personal use. Last week at work I had to boot a computer to a goddamn floppy to run a diskwipe program because it was giving me shit about the hard drive being not too corrupt to be readable, but too corrupt for Windows XP Installer to run. A goddamn floppy. The newer computers don't even have a floppy drive.

My DVD drive has been broken for quite awhile now and haven't bothered fixing it because, well, I don't need to use it. Just a simple driver issue after installing Windows 7, which happened around February of this year.

Mac OS X Snow Leopard. I wanted to do a fresh install. 

I was watching The Thing with The Screening Room. I miss watching movies with drunk Rorie.

Ease down. Ease down. Ease on down.

All the time. Games, movies, burning for work.

I'd have to say the live WM shows as a whole have been lamer without the drinking. This 'professionalism' kick they're on isn't as fun to watch.

I pop diablo 2 in from time to time.

You realize you can just enter your key at blizzard.com and bypass the need to ever use a disc again right?

Yeah, I don't know if you ever listened to the Joystiq Podcast, but it use to be a funny conversational podcast like the Bombcast. They recently turned it into the NPR of gaming and it is the most boring, dry shit I've ever heard. What are people thinking when they take the stuff that made them popular and throw it out the window as an attempt to bring in more people? Not saying WM is doing this, but being straight laced is not what I like about them.

The course is clear: We as the Giant Bomb community must send them alcohol!

I agree. Jello Shots for ALL!

We should turn it into a thing: Whiskey Media's Whiskey From Around the World, where we all send them local whiskey. And it's not like they can refuse to drink it, because that would be rude.

You know, I honestly can't remember. I think the last game in the drive was Viva Pinata. Movie? Fuck if I know.

When I installed Kaspersky on my Aunt's computer last week.
 
For my use, when I installed Crysis 2.
 
The 20 dollars that a DVD Drive costs, makes it worth it. In a good 5 years I can see it going without it, however OS installs might be complicated. And physical media needs to stay alive, fuck the digital revolution. I want my used CDs, discounted DVDs and being able to loan things to friends!

@Dany: 20 minutes ago.

Last month. Had to burn something for school.

Mmmm, I think when WoW Burning Crusade came out.

terminator 2 like years ago.

TODAY! I installed Gray Matter, an adventure game by Jane Jensen I had no idea existed. It was the first time in months, maybe years, though.

I watch most of the movies I see on my computer, and since Netflix streaming is useless here in Canada that means buying DVDs and inserting them into my computer.

Several weeks ago...

Put in Kontroll in my laptop about two years ago because I couldn't sleep and didn't feel like turning on the TV. Great foreign movie.

To install SC2 when I first got it.

I watched all 6 Star Wars movies a couple weeks ago, the prequel trilogy again this week, and The Clone Wars Season 2 Disc 4 last night. 

I couldn't go disc-less because I still own many old games on discs.  Also, throwing away the option to buy the retail version of a game if need be seems imprudent. 
 
Anyway, I'm replaying Oblivion right now, and that's on disc.

Yesterday when I picked up Splinter Cell Conviction for $5. For a movie? Probably a month or so.

Movie? Can't recall, as I don't tend to buy movies as I never watch them more then once. If you mean and DVD, then it would have been during the Steam summer sale when I installed Dawn of War Retribution to get that achievement.

I use it all the time. My PC is connected to my home theater.

I possibly never have.

I tried a few months ago, but it wouldn't play. The strange thing about this is that I installed Windows 7 (comes in a DVD) in this very machine. Fucking magnets.

Ummm a few weeks ago, I finished my second play through for ME2. Ask a better question, when was the last time I put a blu ray into my disk drive.

I watch Netflix on mine all the time.

When i had to install windows 7 64 bit.

My laptop doesn't have a DVD drive. 

when I got Wow: Cataclysm, waste of money

Last week, when I was moving stuff from my laptop to my computer.

I watched Black Swan on my PC a week ago because I couldn't find my PS3 controller which is my usual DVD player. And I don't like my launch 360's loudness when watching movies.

When installing Windows 7, probably.

@MrKlorox: Yep, and my key is registered but i dont feal like downloading off the site and reinstalling it. Plus i have a few seperate installs for different mods i like to run.

The last time I had a disc in my computer was September of last year. It was a Netflix disc, the last one I had before going streaming only. Shortly after I was doing some work in my computer and forgot to reconnect the drive. I haven't bothered to yet because I haven't had a need to put in another disc. Before that it had probably been about 18 months since the last disc I put in. I have a Win 7 license, but I find it's much easier and faster to keep it on a flash drive for reinstalls.
 
When my girlfriend wanted to get a new laptop about 8 months ago I helped her pick one out that doesn't even have an optical drive. She hasn't needed it once and the reduced weight and thickness are definitely worth it.

Dragon Age Orgins right now, before that Bad Company 2.

I found a copy of Kotor 2 in my garage and tried installing it like 3 days ago, but WASD won't work.
