Topic: Do you own a blue ray player?

I'm still using standard DVD's but I have been thinking of upgrading.
Is the difference really that spectacular?

You might as well upgrade its getting harder and harder to find newer movies in DVD. Besided Blu Ray players play both DVD and Blu Ray.

Hell no, and I won't get Blu-Ray until you can't find anything on DVD anymore. Blu-Ray's the worst gimmick since HD. They're just trying to rip me off by selling me a product that's barely different from the DVD. I can't even see the difference in the quality of the picture and who cares about the extra space on Blu-Ray? I hardly ever watch all of the extras anyway.

I'll stick to my cheap and high quality DVDs, thank you very much. I don't wanna pay +€10 for minimal differences. I hope DVDs will still be around for a good while, so I don't have to start buying that crap until it's much cheaper.

iTunes account + download means you never need to buy DVDs again.

nope never even bothered, once blu ray came, we just bought all our shows off of iTunes

No, but I imagine DVD's will disappear eventually as Video Casettes have, so I guess eventually I'll have to.

I beg to differ considering I don't wanna take my computer to a friend's place just to play a movie

That's why God (or Jobs, at any rate) invented iPods and iPads and such things.

Don't forget laptops, which can even be hooked up to a T.V. or projector if you don't want to watch on a small laptop screen.

Well screw that, those are too expensive

(Plus I'll break them, guaranteed!)

But then hovering over a little screen..? not as enjoyable

@WaltzElf: HD movies take too long to download and too much space for an ipod/ipad to be a good route for me. I'll stick with physical media that usually costs the same as the downloadable counterpart and the physical media usually comes with free digital copy anyways that I don't use.

@Topic: Yes I have a Blu Ray player and a PS3

yeah in my ps3 and since i didnt have an extensive collection of dvds which they are getting replaced and my blu-ray collection is getting bigger and i refuse to buy anything that is tv series on dvd despite how cheap they might be for example (how i met your mother) theres only season 4 on blu-ray and i want to get the collection but nope i will wait as long as i have too

so yeah point is its blu-ray from here on out gotta accomdate my hdtv for it after all

noted to mention dvd copies are bundled for the most part i never used the dvd versions unless i have a portable dvd player but rather have a portable blu-ray player to take with me which will probably happen in a couple years give or take i hope

Aren't you from the 80s? What happened to small bulky TVs?

Google TV pwns blu-ray in every facet.

Well, my dad found these little cute blue movie boxes and bought a lot of them.

_{He had to buy a Blu Ray later that day.}

If you have an HDTV, the difference in quality with Blu Ray is really remarkable in some films. It's very easy to tell the difference if you ask me. Blu Ray is to DVD what DVD is to VHS. If you don't have a very good HD TV, however, it probably won't make much of a difference.

I don't think so. DVD was a much bigger improvement over VHS than the Blu-ray over DVD

I don't think you have a right to this conversation seeing as you can't even tell how awesome HD is with those birdfreak eyes of yours

I also owned a lot of VHSes. A lot of them don't work and waste space. I DO have a right fool!
