This is what a REAL PS3 collection looks like. Over 110 HD exclusive titles.

This fails.

No Rocky, Blade Runner, or Dawn of the Dead.. instead it has disturbia, reign of fire, fantastic four, aeon flux.. yeesh.

Rocky Balboa is there.

Blade Runner and Dawn of the Dead have poor HD transfers. Not worth buying.

Rocky Balboa is not Rocky.

They are more then worth owning. They look better then their dvd counterparts, which is all that it takes to make them worth owning. Especially blade runner, which is as expensive on bluray as it is on dvd(for the same extra features and jazz). Anyways, i'm no blu ray wiz, but i thought blade runner looked really good on BR.. i didn't think it was a poor hd transfer. Is it really?

Are you sure you even WATCHED Blade Runner? It's actually praised as being a modern HD miracle, and called one of the better looking movies on the format. I suggest you check High Def Digest.

I guess my PS3 collection sucks then, I have no Blu Rays.ONLYDOD

Same here although I got one Blu-Ray movie but thats just one...Spiderman 3, And I'm sure you don't wanna count that :P

You're that troll who doesn't play videogames because you don't want to train to be a criminal and who thinks that a real Playstation owner wouldn't lower himself to play games on it at all, right? Was your other account banned? Your trolling is quite amusing though. Keep going.

Edit: I fail at understanding where those movies are HD exclusive by the way.

meh I was expecting this...lame

The funny is I have almost the same amount of HD titles, and yet I don't care to brag about them on an online forum.

And you have HD-DVDs in there as well, which is really fail since the PS3 does not play HD-DVDs.

looks like someone has spent a lot of money on a rocky format that might not make it as the standard nm disk.. i will not touch br with a 10 ft pole until it proves itself.3picuri3

Blu-Ray did prove itself. It is the HD format of choice going forward.

will not last anywhere near as long as DVD did. we've had this argument before - and i buried you in links to analyst reports from september and all the BR camp could provide was one glowing report from a BR backed writer.

it has the worst adoption rate of any new media in the past 15+ years. the only reason it's showing any signs of life is due to the PS3 - and like other Sony media formats it's looking like it'll end up like UMD.

keep an eye on holiday sales during this global economic struggle. i think you'll find DVD is far more healthy than BRD and based on sales projections will outlast BRD.

also might want to read up on how badly the PC side is going for BRD as well. it has the worst new media adoption rate EVER. nobody wants it, nobody needs it.

anyone with some foresight that does their research knows it isn't wise to invest in a BRD collection. it'll end up being worth what laserdisc is today.

You cannot prove the future by using analysts. It does not work, since they are wrong as often as they are right.

And it took DVD many years to supplant VHS. Everyone forgets that fact and assumes that it happened as soon as DVD came out.

Blu Ray beat DVD to one million units sold, and as HDTV adoption rates go up and Blu-Ray prices go down (same thing that DVD had to wait for, that mainstream price) Blu-Ray will take off.

It sure won't happen quickly, but I would venture that in the next three or so years it will overtake DVD.

analysts are paid for their projections - if they don't make good projections they aren't re-hired. saying they are wrong as often as they are right is just flat out false. the reports i linked you to before were from the Financial Times, written by an anaylst who has been doing projections since you were likely in diapers. people make business decisions based on what he writes, and what others write in the FT. we're not talking video game analyst here, so you can't as easily dismiss it - because more often than not decent economic analysts are RIGHT.

do yourself a favor and actually compare DVD adoption to BRD adoption side by side. maybe use a graph. you'll see how wrong you are in asserting this slow crawl to adoption is anything like the transition from VHS to DVD.

bluray may have done that, despite me not being able to find any reliable evidence in my search. but what you fail to see is that this plays to my argument - BR is doing well because of the PS3. DVD did not have a console at launch that double as a media player - so basing anything on that data would be extremely shortsighted. if you account for all PS3 BRD sales (PS3 BRD attach) and extrapolate the data it's pretty clear that the lions share of BRD purchases have been from PS3 owners. whether they're gullible enough to give BRD enough time to get widespread market adoption is the key question.

it won't happen period imo. unless we get a massive price cut to HDTV sets. the market is drying up for home electronics purchases if you look at early data post global economic crisis. considering most analysts peg this 'recession' for lack of a better word, to lasting 3-5 years i think that puts the final nails in the coffin for BRD.

time will tell my friend, but the market, nor the data, favor your argument. BRD is being carried on the backs of PS3 faithful - there is no arguing against that. what happens in 2-3 years when the PS3 isn't as relevent?

:lol: Heroes Season 2.

Shame on you for paying money for something related to Season 2.

Well, I have a graph for Western Europe. We are at year two (the rest is projection).

And its not that far off in Japan either. The US is slow to adopt Blu-Ray. This is very true as well, and I concede that point to you.

But everyone is expecting this to happen like right now. Blu-Ray hit in Mid 2006. It it now a little over two years later. DVD hit in 1996.

DVD did not pass VHS until 2003. That is 7 years after the format launched. 7 years for DVD to pass VHS for good, and people are expecting Blu-Ray to trounce DVD (the most successful video format yet in terms of software sales) in only 2 years? These things take time, and yes, this poor economy is not helping.

But I can assure you that companies are making money off of Blu-Ray, and early adopters are supporting the format well, so it is not going anywhere either, until that adoption rate passes DVD.

Who says its PS3 collection? PS3 is not only blue ray player you know?Lidve

He owns Fantastic 4 and Aeon Flux? Ugh... That's just... Terrible. :( Also Triple X, and is that the 2003 Hulk? Double :(.

Never watched Disturbia all the way through and never saw Reign of Fire, but they didn't look all that appealing.

That's a Blu-RAY collection newbie, NOT a PS3 collection.

man that season was god awful

is it really that hard to post the actual picture?

btw....they're hardly exclusive seeing how over 3/4 of those you can still pick up on HD DVD AND for 1/3 the price. :lol:

Yeah, I've only bought one Blu-ray since I've owned my PS3, I guess I'm going at this the wrong way too. :?

lawlz at the 1 HDDVD in the right corner. that guy got OWNEDmistervengeance

There are HD-DVDs in other spots..

I swear to god I've seen this picture (or at least of the exact same shelf with a smaller number of Blu-Rays) posted here in SW countless times... Not-A-Stalker

Yeah i remember it aswell.

Why would anybody in the right mind buy a HDDVD player? The more HDDVDs you buy the more money you waste.

Blu-Ray is also doing favorably well in Canada... only the US seems to be slow on adopting Blu-Ray

Nice collection, I only have 23 in my collection.

Not in the least. Serious films buffs are already eyeing the possibility of home 4k equipment. Really, we'd be better served by an all-digital setup - enough with the disks already. Blu-Ray really feels a bit like SACD or Audio DVD - not in that we've reached a point where "film can't get any better" - it can - but that it has reached a point where our movies should be coming down the wire, not stamped on a disc.

-

Blu-Ray may replace DVD in a decade, as prices fall, but I don't foresee any disc-based format as the real "future" of cinema. The general consumer isn't going to care about 4k for home use (at least, I don't see that as likely in the near future aka this decade) - but within the next 10 years the acceptance of "owning" a movie without the disc? Will we be there?

With the advances in solid state devices, and falling costs - it might even become a possibility that we own movies on something other than a disc. Emerging holo card standards show yet another possible path - so we'll see. I'm curious.

-

-

I personally don't care *how* I get my movies - I just want them to look good, sound good, and cost as little as possible. I don't see advancing disc standards really being able to beat out the digital marketplace forever, because at some point in the future quality will reach a point where the general consumer simply wants better convenience.

Cool waste of money

And cool HD DVD movies?
