O_O Wow that's nearly £30, there are some shops here where you can buy 2 for £20.
In HMW? I went there in the UK. So cheap. I saw a movie today in the shop for $55 AUD. I think it was HMV yeah, I still think the internet is the cheapest place though.
I tried that for a few movies, the difference between a compressed HD download and a uncompressed Bluray is huge...at least to me. no ur rite its not only to u lol... there is a difference. and for those lookin to get blu ray movies but dont want to spend much, try amazon usually they got good deals and most of the movies are around 20 bucks or less. And TC yea i still watch blu ray movies on my ps3, i love it lol. i own alil over 100 movies and to be honest with u i only watched half of them lol
I've only got 7 Blu ray movies, but when I watch them, it's definitely on my PS3. since I don't have anything else to play them on :P I tend to watch a lot of obscure, low budget movies, so most of them aren't available on Blu ray. As time goes by though, more and more of them are becoming available, so my collection will keep growing; albeit slowly.
Yeah UK sells Blu-Rays at reasonable prices, Avatar DVD/BD combo is £14.99 about $28 to US, i only have 9 or 10 but they recent ones except for Snatch and The Matrix.

u clearly have not been to JB hifi currently. 2 for $20. i work there and get them a little cheaper. on new realse they are the cheapest the movie will be until 6 months later. star trek and Avater were both $25 on new release. a lot of great movies now under $20.
I don't watch movies more than once typically, so I have a Blu-Ray subscription with Netflix and get about a new movie every other day since there is no new television during the summer.
yes though i do not watch much because im only interested in a few blu-rays. watching movies without CGI and/or explosions is pretty pointless in HD. i laugh when i see romantic comedies and dialogue heavy dramas on blu-ray.
Not really. I started to build a nice collection of blu-rays, but then realized I still needed to have a copy of the same movie on DVD to play on all the other players used by my family. Now I pretty much only buy blu-rays when they are packaged with a DVD copy in the case.
I've also found that on my 42" Bravia that up-converted regular DVDs look pretty darn close to BDs. So I guess until BD prices drop, or I can get a BD player in more of the stuff we use I'll just stick to DVDs for the time being, unless of course it's a combo pack.

Which is why i only watch/buy DVD's.. dont bother with Blu Rays cause they are so expensive.
Man you people in Oz just get screwed left and right don't you...that's messed up.
Is it the taxes or what causes the prices to be so high? I mean I know they have to ship stuff there, but most stuff is made in China and shipped everywhere else these days anyway.
I watch blu rays regularly on my ps3. That was a big bonus point with the system for me. I don't own very many, but netflix keeps me with plenty of blu rays to watch.

I buy 4 or 5 blu ray movies a month from Amazon. I also rent from Netflix. Plus i download hd movies from psn too and netflix too. I watch a lot of stuff. I just pre-ordered the collectors Egg edition of the Alien movies box set. Really cool.

I don't anymore. Not since I recieved a free Blu Ray player when I purchased my TV. I have a 60GB launch PS3 and my blu ray player is so much quiter to run, plus I can use my harmony one remote without having to buy a infared adaptor for my PS3.
