Blu-Ray. People who say otherwise is because they don't even own a Blu-Ray player.

Blu-Ray, now that the price on them has come way down. $12 is so much more reasonable for a Blu-Ray than $30.

Blu-ray, kind of ruins my theater experience because the quality is not that good.

I really want blu-ray but I can't afford to buy movies. I might get a blu-ray player just for Avatar...

Blu-Ray. No room for comparison, if you seriously think that DVD is better than you need your eyes checked.

Like the other guy said 30+ was way too much to ask for most people. I only bought a couple when they were that high but now you can see deals all the time for like 10-15 for BD's. Some are older, like i got Me, Myself, and Irene for like 9, even though it wont be that great its inline with the DVD price. I got District 9 on BD for cheaper than the 2 disc DVD set from best buy lol.

Eh, I don't think we're comparing the quality (because there is no debate here) of picture, just saying which version we watch.

I'd rather rent movies or watch them online. it's a lot cheaper to spend a couple bucks on a movie when you're renting it instead of paying 4 or 5 times that price just to own it and watch it once and then never watch it again unless you're a person than can actually watch the same movie over and over again.

PS3 Blu-ray PLAYER. The only blu-ray discs I will buy are the LOTR Extended editions, and some of the movies I truly love.

Yeah I've heard that with quite a few movie releases that they're making the Blu-Ray versions cheaper than the DVD ones... On top of that, companies like Disney are including a DVD copy of their movies WITH the Blu-Ray versions... I think it goes to show that the movie industry is really trying hard to convert everyone over to Blu-Ray. Honestly, if people still don't want to go Blu-Ray even though it's cheaper with a DVD copy with it for free, then I don't know what will make them give up on DVD.

Is this a serious question? That's like choosing between VHS an DVD, the quality difference between the two are so far apart, once you see a movie in Bluray you'll never want to go back to that old technology called DVD.

Both.

Some things aren't possible on Blu-ray anyway (such as TV stuff made in the 80's etc.)

Anything is possible on Bluray, all they have to do is convert it...but you won't see much difference in quality because they didn't film in HD back then.

Well that's what I meant. And they did film in 35mm film, but edited on video (unllike the 70s where they edited the actual film, meaning a Blu-ray could be made.)

I don't really care to be honest but I still buy DVD's as it's cheaper then Blu Ray movies then again I'm one of those people who usually watches a movie once then never watches it again certain movies I'll watch again though.

the answer is obvious why is there even a forum about this...any one that says dvd is better than blu ray has never seen a movie in blu ray...and as rapidly as our technology is growing we will very soon find a way to convert movies made in the 80s into true hd.

Nonsense. The only way would be to get all the unedited 35mm film (if it hadn't been thrown away) and reedit everything all over again. I doubt this would be done as it would be too costly.

* I'm talking about TV shows here, not movies (they are already in HD.)

Blu-ray, but only for movies I don't already own or REALLY like. DVD is only inferior in terms of picture resolution. Audio isn't quite as big a leap, and nothing else can be done with Blu-ray that isn't capable on a DVD, or that isn't stupid (like BD-live). The gap between DVD and Blu-ray is nowhere near as big as the gap between VHS and DVD, because you got all the benefits of a digital format (no rewinding, selectable chapters/special features, alternate audio tracks and subtitles, etc) alongside better picture and audio quality.

The audio is actually substancially better than DVD. You just need to have a good enough setup to take advantage just like you need a good enough screen to take advantage of the picture. Then with all the talk about 3D, im sure when Avatar comes out on DVD and BD, the BD version will have 3D and it will be as amazing as it was in theater (though i wouldnt know personally since i havent seen it yet lol).

Blu-ray is obviously better, especially with a PS3 like I have. It's not an essential thing though, like the DVD.

blu-ray for everything. Using DVD still is like hooking up my PS3 to a tv made in the 80s. Sure I could use it and it'd be functional but why?

Especially when the difference is so big. And thankfully the price for blu-rays have dropped tremendously and they don't all cost 30 bucks now. Amazon makes sure of that :)

Blu ray gives the best picture quality on a tv I have ever seen. So of course blu ray except for like really old movies or movies that were transferred to hd badly.

Blu-Ray is obviously the superior format. But I'm not nearly tempted to drop a load of cash on a player, or movies, as they are far more expensive than DVD's at the moment. In a few years maybe...

I actually have Monster Inc on DVD and the quality is of the last picture..

Although an upconverted DVD does indeed look better than that first picture posted, it is not as good as the second blu-ray pic. Come on, let's not get silly here.

You my actually need glasses (seriously.)
