Hello everyone. Im planing to attend Gamescom 2026 this August (24-30th) and i was looking around for hostels. I first looked around Cologne but those were too expensive (probably because of Gamescom) so i started looking around in Düsseldorf (apperently it only takes like an hour to get to the Gamescom from there.)

So firstly i looked into a&o hostels in Düsseldorf, they were looking pretty great and professional. But it seems that the rooms dont have any lockers in them (Which is a major problem for me) but the problem is im seeing conflicting reports on it. Some say it does some say it doesnt.

Anyways after this i started looking at another Hostel called Backpackers Düsseldorf. Its rooms seemed cleaner and had in room lockers. But also the whole place has this "amateur" vibe? Like their own website was a little off compared to a&o hostels. Not as trustworthy is what im trying to say.

Anyways, basically im torn between these two. They both have great prices and im alright with staying in dorm type rooms but both places have their own things that make me worry about them. If anyone has stayed in either hostels, a quick review would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot

Hello everyone. Ive started collecting blurays recently and the quality of streaming is dead to me. Im trying to get every movie i like on blurays now but ofcourse i cant find them all. So my question is, is dvd quality better or atleast on par with streaming? I know streaming can do higher resolutions like 1080p but im wondering if dvd can close that gap by having loseless video and audio.
