I will once my family adopts Blu-ray as a whole since we all use the same movie in the house.so if my bro next door to me or sis want to borrow one of my movies to watch then they can watch it so ya it would be reckless and pointless to do so especially not knowing what the future holds eventully Blu-ray and HD-DVD will die just like Bill Gates predictied but for now i will wait and try to convince them to buy a blu-ray player once prices go down.
I haven't bought a DVD in years and no BD yet either, but if I was gonna buy a something, it would probably be a BD by now (Advent Children will most likely be my first BD)
I personally have swtiched, I will only buy Blu-ray movies. I still watch DVDs though for two reasons. One, because Blockbuster only has DVDs at the moment and two because I have a bunch of DVDs. I easily notice a drop in picture quality when watching a DVD so I try to avoid it.
Any new releases that i'm interested in i'll get on blu-ray if and when they come.. but i'm not going to replace my DVD collection for blu-ray versions.
I have switched, i dont buy anymore DVD but i dont buy a lot of blu-ray, need a price drop for it, i only buy the movies i really really like.Filena
Im like you too. But I bought Superman and De Ja Vu which aren't movies I really REALLY like but are whatever, I just had an itch to buy a Blu Ray and at the time of each purchase they were the best
i probably won't be able to switch over completely until criterion starts releasing on blu-ray (which may take a while). my dvd buying habits have definitely slowed, but i still buy the rare box set or foreign release, stuff that probably won't make it on to blu-ray for quite a while, if ever.
I've just recently (and I mean like 2 days ago) switched from Dvd to Blu-ray. I've had the PS3 since the end of December, but just picked up an HDTV this week. I've got a couple of Blu-rays so far, but if I may make a suggestion: consider picking up "Planet Earth". I never thought I'd be sitting at the edge of my seat for a nature documentary, but I did last night.
Nope, not yet, I don't have a HDTV yet. Plus even if I did I wouldn't buy any blu-ray movies yet since I refuse to pay like $25 when I could get a regular DVD for $15 and just have it upscaled when I get my HDTV.
I still havent switched but I upscale my dvds to 1080i with the ps3 on my hd-ready tv.But if the rental stores bring in some blu-ray movies I shall switch immediately
If a title that I want is coming out on Blu Ray and DVD I will buy it on bluray.... its only like $5 more and you get a great hd picture etc. So yeah I pretty much have switched...
I have a handful of BR discs, but honestly, DVD has a much better selection, and you can't even rent the handful of BR titles at Blockbuster (yet.) Making matters worse, they are overpriced to buy, so I only buy a couple every now and then. Planet Earth is really rad, though. Every PS3 owner with an HDTV should own that excellent documentary.
Yup, I switched already. Already own 5 movies on Blu-ray (Saw 3, Ghost Rider, Casino Royale, Crank, and The Covenant). I plan to buy both Pirates movies and300 soon

Was that a joke? If not, dude! You need to stop thinking the man is God. He's made bad decisions in his lifetime too.

Someone called that a "killer-app" for the PS3. I guess you just confirmed it. lol.

Planet Earth is amazing, I will be picking it up on bluray soon after seeing some of my dads DVD version...I can only imagine how sick it looks in HD.
slowly. My t.v. only supports up to 720p which is kind of a bummer. The other thing is a lot of movies I have yet to get on dvd that I want, are not available on blu ray (such as Heat and Oceans 11).
Netflix, 3 at a time for the last few months... I watch probably2-3 a week. Sadly, Iam near the end of movies that I want to see on blu-ray (I'd guestimate that I've seen about 50). Iown POTC 1 & 2, Casino Royale, Blood Diamond, Into the Blue, Black Hawk Down, The Fifth Element (in the mail actually to receive the new one in July), andApocalypto is on it's way.
I still watch DVD's,and buy them if they are around $5. And of course I rent some DVD's that are not available on blu-ray yet.
Sort of but I never really bought DVDs and I'm probably not gonna really buy Blu-rays because I don't like movies lol. And I have no idea why I don't like movies, they're just boring, but I love TV.
In Australia there are only a limited amount of movies available on BD, and too be honest most of them are crappy movies. Give me a price drop and some decent titles and I'll consider it. Having said that even DVD movies are over $30 here, that is just way too much money for 2 hours of entertainment (I have seen BDs costing over $55).
Not yet - and not for a while. The selection of Blu Ray films in the UK is pretty weak - films like stealth, come on! Even if i did wanna buy a bad old film, i'd pick it up from Play for £3 instead of a £20-25 Blu ray.
But saying that, i'm waiting for Planet Earth's PAL release, should look amazing!
do all blue ray players play DVDs? anyway i want my parents to get a blue ray player but they're not switching for awhile. btw is lord of the rings headed to blue ray?

What the hell is blue ray? Anyway Blu-ray players are backwards compatible with DVD.
