Re: Good

BB, Fry's, everywhere there is a sale.

And I have PS3s on both my big screens, I'm well aware of Blu-Ray quality as well as it's problems.

You want to waste money on BR media...that's just awesome. No one is stopping you. Me, I'd rather not pay 50% more for media that will only play on a couple of my players.

I would rather have the best picture available on my screens, which BTW also upscale DVDs.

BTW, your math is fried friend, $22 - $27 is not 50% more.

Re read my posts, I still buy DVDs, but I prefer to buy Blu-ray - they *ARE* better!

My last BD cost $18.99. I look for sales too.
Maybe next time compare DVDs on sale to the same movie on BD that is on sale.
Not a bargain bin DVD vs a new BD release. Lets be fair.

I agree completely; BR on an LG multidrive (BR and HD-DVD) in my media center PC with a carefully tweaked and calibrated DLP projector on a ten foot screen and I have a smokin' home theatre that looks better than the 35mm I run as a part-time projectionist (been a union operator for twenty-six years).

I recently got the first season of Weeds, Life of Brian and Pan's Labrynth for $10 each at Amazon. And there are great prices here: »www.deepdiscount.com

So yeah, I agree with dadkins that there are LOTS of places to get BR pretty cheaply.

That doesn't mean I expect folks to run out and buy into the format, only that things aren't always as pricey as may first appear.

Hey, thanks for the link. I see they have Stargate on BD for only $15. LOL. That DVD is the first one I ever got (freebie with the player back in 1999 I think) and it's a flipper - time to replace that with glorious 1080p and DTS HD audio!!!

I say if it looks better to you and you have the money I see no reason not to go with BD. If it doesn't look good or you can't afford the extra 30%-40% stick with DVD.
