Blu-Rays For Free You Say?



Yeah it is possible, but there are a few things you are going to need first.

1. Either a 720p/1080p capable television/monitor
- Obviously your screen will have to be able to handle the video. And no you do not need a pricey blu-ray player at all.
2. Megashares Premium
- Place where most blu-rays are stored online, they offer a 1 time fee cheap unlimited service for 6 months ($25)
- I will give you a website that has basically every blu-ray available on megashares
- You can use rapidshare too but it costs more and is more difficult to get blu-rays, especially when they are around 80 links and if one is down and you start downloading you wont find out till like 3 hours later and you just wasted a lot of time and bandwidth.
3. HD Video Card ($60-$200) for computer or External hard drive with TV that supports that (USB Support).
- If your going to play them from your computer hooked up to a monitor or tv you'll need a HD Card to send it from your computer.
- If your tv plays them and has external hard drive support (USB Support) then all you need to do is store them on the drive and select them from there like a computer and it will just play.
- If you have PS3, it has a hd-video card and storage all-in-one - So you can skip #3, but then you are going to have to convert your files to a different format so that PS3 will play them - now that "how-to" tutorial is here.
4. Brain to follow the rest of this tutorial.

Got all that? Great cause most of the tough work is getting everything needed. Well, let's get started...

Computer W/ HD Card & HD-TV/HD-Monitor
1. Hook your hd-card up to your television until you get that displaying your computer.
2. Find/Choose a Blu-Ray file to download.
- Best place i found is here
- You will need an account there (it's free, takes like a minute to set-up) to see links.
3. Start downloading. (I recommend using DAP Premium to handle your downloads, check that out here.
- You start the download by going to the Megashares link and hit "download".
4. Once it has completed, you now can just play them from your computer in full screen and wallah.
- Best and easiest player I have found that plays MKV files (hd computer files) is VLC Player, its free and easy. Will play anything. You can download that Here--> Windows - Mac


Computer, HD-TV/HD-Monitor, External HD
1. Hook your external up to your computer so it is like another hard drive listed in your "my computer"
2. Find/Choose a Blu-Ray file to download.
- Best place i found is here
- You will need an account there (it's free, takes like a minute to set-up) to see links.
3. Start downloading. (I recommend using DAP Premium to handle your downloads, check that out here.
- You start the download by going to the Megashares link and hit "download".
4. Once it has completed, you now transfer it to your External Hard Drive (that is if you didnt set it too automatically download to there)
5. Take your external out of your computer and then hook it up to your tv and play.
- Now depending on your tv model and hard drive model it will display differently. Shouldnt be hard at all though. Just choose your files and they play.
