So, you just updated to Windows 10, just finished adjusting your privacy setting, laughed at Microsoft trying to get you to pay for Solitaire, and are now ready to enjoy a good old fashioned movie night. Looking for something a little newer, you spring for the RedBox down the road and come home with a DVD of the latest Liam “I to old for this shit” Neeson action flick only to find out you have a problem.
You clearly have a DVD drive in your laptop as this we aren’t living in 2003 anymore, yet something seems to be amiss. For whatever reason Windows 10 doesn’t come with the any built-in software to play DVDs of any kind. Fair enough in this age of streaming I guess, but jumping onto the Windows Store you make a shocking discovery -the Windows 10 DVD player costs $15 fucking dollars!
That’s highway robbery on the grandest of scales, not becuase we all know it stupid, but because most users that aren’t all that tech savvy, or are buying a new PC in the near future are going to fall for this scam. We recommend that you download VLC player instead as that application won’t cost you a dime and is superior in every way to the Windows 10 DVD app.
