    I feel the same way. I like the streaming/VCR experience of hitting play and seeing the media. Those old DVD menus that wanted me to mess with extras sucked.

      99% of DVD menus would have the “Play movie” pre-selected, letting you activate it with a single press of the Play or Select button.

        I have vivid memories of sitting through the copyright banner/FBI warning, waiting for the janky menu to load, trying to figure out which button had focus, starting the movie, sitting through ads for movies that came out years ago, and then the movie would play.

        Maybe my memory isn’t accurate, but I don’t miss DVD menus.
