This isn't surprising. This will be great for further down the line, when Blu-Ray becomes cheap enough to be the mainstream.

I love Bluray....I don't even go to theaters anymore I just wait for them to come out on Bluray :)

Seriously, to anyone out there who said not going to theaters, I'm almost to that point.

Blu-Ray + 120 or 240hz 1080p TV with a sweet surround sound system = better than any movie theater.

I've replaced so many of my action DVD's with Blu's, and have over 250+ Blu's right now.The Blu-Ray Scratch Protection/Resistance layer coating on each disc is a nice bonus, even though I don't scratch my discs.

Digital Distrubution poses many problems, and I don't want to think about something that isn't even a real option anyways.

:lol:

I know. I found some Blu's cheaper for Watchmen at Watchmen launch day, and I saw suckers at Walmart buying the Watchmen DVD for more than the Blu! I couldn't believe it.It happens all the time, I don't pay more than $22 for a Blu, but usually spend $10-$16 for each movie. :)

Blu's have Scratch protection/resistance layered coating, but yeah, every feature ever would be cool for users, sure.

Also, I have CD's from the early 1990's, and I have yet to have scratch problems to this day with any type of disc. I'm not that kind of guy, I'm a lot more careful, that's why I don't like used, since most folks are not careful.

That being said, Blu-Ray's have that protection for users with scratching issues.

Yet it still capture some dust from bottom brash when you inserting and takeing disc from PS3, but it's not visibly effect the reading of disc.

I think I'm rolling on around 40+ Blu-Ray movies atm. I love them. I got my parents, grand parents, aunt/uncle, and a few friends into it (all were skeptical until I showed them playing on my 1080p HDTV).

Blu-Ray are, in fact, becoming the standard for movie entertainment. The number of people buying them increase with the number of HDTV's being sold (which, by walking into your local Best Buy, is the only kind of TV's being sold).

Remeber all the DvD's > Blu Ray threads we had a couple of years ago? :P

My Uncle came over for new years and he loves the new Star Trek movie. He has never seen a Blu-Ray movie before, so when I showed him the Blu-ray version of Star Trek, he almost fell over lol. He was delighted to say the least.

Just wonder what format movies will be in the near future. Already, people are starting to download movies directly to their computer or use those on-demand services that eliminate the need for storage media.

Holy snippet! They rose the ammount of space in BluRay Discs!?

For all people saying home theater is better, think again:

I saw sherlock holmes at this place and no home theater on the planet will ever compare to it unless it comes with a herim of fine ladies.

To be honest I don't see the big deal about BDs. I will admit the scratch protection is nice but when I see the supposed "difference" in the demos they play inelectronic stores it's laughable how they're mildly better quality, certainly not better enought to justify buying a HDTV, Surround sound system and a BD player but each to his own I guess.

I sort of agree here. I think there is a significant difference between Blu-ray and DVD, but it's only really noticeable when you have a HDTV. TV's can get expensive. If you already have a HDTV, then Blu ray is definitely worth it, but otherwise it might not be worth the money. When DVD's started coming out, I felt like I could never go back to VHS. As much as I appreciate Blu ray, I don't feel it's as much of a "must have" sort of thing as DVD players were when they first came out.

Intresting. But I wonder how many ps3s are gonna ylod because of this. Some older sytems bluray lens wasent the best so this may kill it.

Still doesnt beat the theater experience for me tho. LARGE LARGE SCREEN AND amazing quaility spekers. But then my local theater is brand new cost millions to make and uses the newest and best tec.

Meh. I've got hardly any PC games that take up two disks atm (although, they are becoming more common, tbh.)linkthewindow
