the 360 plays movies to you know!

everyone tends to forget that DVD's are the movie format these days, and will be for the forseeable future; the 360 is 'today's' media center for the majority of folks out there!

yes, I have a nice hddvd tv , and have all the platforms; I'm able to watch BR movies in all their glory, howvever, i continue to watch dvd's, and i do not lose any sleep over the fact that they are not BR.

Untill the price of BR movies come down in price, the BR format will grow only so slowly!

Once you go blu , there's no turning back.

DVD stills win,BR can burn in hell i wont ever spend $35 on a movie.CuliaCows

I rent all of my BR movies, and only buy when i can get them under 20.00, but the thing is that i have to wait for all the new releases in order to do so

360 doesn't upscale DVDs to 1080p though :(.TREAL_Since

I'm shocked at all the people who don't shop at amazon....You're really paying too much for everything for the most part if you're not lol.

I buy all BD, videogames, hell, I just bought my LCD from there! Anywho, I don't get paid for advertising for them so I'm gonna shut up now...

DVDs used to cost that much back when *they* were new, it's all relative.

Actually not just DVD, I know some people buy the Xbox just to stream videos/audio from their networked PC.

A normal media streamer like this below is much more expensive than the Xbox.

[QUOTE="CuliaCows"] I know what u mean..but i still think that 20 or 25 bucks for a movie is a ripoff still,especially for crappy movies..and i know the facts that BR movies are expensive because of the video and sound quality..Couth_

Once you go blu, there's no going back for me. I love my blu-rays. The difference is night and day. Also since my 360 isn't connected properly (no HDMI) to upconvert DVDs, I would watch them on my PS3 anyways (it does and is in HDMI) but even still, the picture quality of BD and DVD is huge, and the sound. yoshi_64

Dough blu-rays have amazing quality :o it's cool to have a blu-ray player/ps3 only if you have a full HD tv. Blu-rays look good on SD tvs too but on 1080p TVs mmmmm8):shock:

If it makes you feel better your closer than I am! I got television speakers on a measly 19-inch for my dorm.

Sigh, looks like my imagination will be going into overdrive tonight...

EDIT: Here's the complete info on that setup. It's only a soul-wrenching $6 million... :P

Once you get Netflix on the 360, paying for Blurays is just silly. For less than the price of one DVD you can watch unlimited movies. I'd rather do that than see one movie in Bluray 1080i HD. It's like saying "Nah , I'd rather play my one game with a perfect 10 in graphics and average gameplay instead of having a huge game library." I mean really does anyone use the in-movie friends commentary. What a waste.player_leo

[QUOTE="Chutebox"] First, it's not the same quality as BD. Second, BD is 1080p. Third, BD also has the best audio available... Well worth the $10-$24 I pay.player_leo
