We have started a Patreon page with the hopes that
some of our followers would be
willing to donate a small amount to keep DVDBeaver
alive. We are a tiny niche, so your
generosity is vital to our
existence.
We are talking about a minimum of
$0.10 - $0.15 a day, perhaps a
quarter (or more) to those who won't
miss it from their budget. It
equates to buying DVDBeaver a coffee
once, twice or a few times a month.
You can then participate in our
monthly
Silent
auctions,
and have exclusive access to many 'bonus' High Resolution screen captures - both
4K UHD
and
Blu-ray
(see
HERE). |

DVDBeaver LOVES Amazon.FR (France) - usually strong, occasionally region FREE, Blu-ray transfers - although some have forced subtitles (see warning below) - often desirable films that may not available in 1080P anywhere else. Please let us know if you find any worthy titles that we've missed, and deserve inclusion.
With the reasonable Euro ( € ), many of us can get great value by shopping at Amazon France! Here are some, English-friendly, Blu-rays (and a few DVDs) to consider that are titles not available on Blu-ray elsewhere, are superior transfers / extras / packaging or are comparatively inexpensive (click review buttons to also see comparisons where applicable):
