I think I've played 1 physical DVD in the last 6 monthsYou might consider USB over Cat5 so you can put a local DVD player strategically. I plan to put a hub inside my sofa where I can connect gamepads/DVD player/ Joystck whatever you may need.

I have USB ports by my theater TV for gaming, but they don't get used much. Wireless controllers have taken over


and to answer the question about gaming through your extenders... no way. There is a noticable delay in the best of circumstances. Won't work for real-time gaming.
