Got Blu-Ray?

Just wondering if anyone else has jumped onto the Blu-Ray bandwagon yet

I currently have 32 Blu-Ray titles and I got 5 more pre-ordered. I use the PS3 to watch em. Anyone else?

Re: Got Blu-Ray?

I've got HD-DVD. IT's amazing, cant wait for them to be Blu-ray to a pulp! It's gonna be so great when HD-DVD wins the format war....

oh wait.

hahahah. (i dont really have HD-DVD, but i've talked with a few who do, and they didn't know what to do with their old stuff)

Re: Got Blu-Ray?

They can still watch their HD DVDs until their player breaks down and then they find out they can't find parts or new replacements

Was almost tempted to buy a firesale-priced HD DVD player just coz of Transformers and the Matrix trilogy several months ago... I'm glad I held off and Blu-Ray won. Now I'm just waiting for Universal and Paramount to get off their asses and reissue their big HD DVD releases into Blu-Ray...

I bought a firesale HD DVD player from Best Buy for $65 just so I could get the Planet Earth HD-DVD set (which they now have on Blu_Ray). Plus it does a good job of upconverting all my standard DVDs.

I'll probably hold out for a while before I jump on the Blu-Ray wagon. I hardly buy DVDs anymore, we just get everything through Netflix.

Re: Got Blu-Ray?

Yeah, at the very least picking up an HD-DVD player is a cheap way to get an upconvert player (since most upconvert players are around $100 give or take).

I have a Sony BDP-S300 and it does an excellent job upconverting my standard DVDs as well as an excellent job playing Blu-Ray. It's connected to my 40" Samsung LNT-4066f (I posted about my HT set up a while back).

I only have a few movies on Blu-Ray though. But any new movie I get, I get it on Blu-Ray (if available). I also rent from Blockbuster for the Blu-Ray movies.

300
American Psycho*
Flight of the Phoenix*
Full Metal Jacket*
Good Luck Chuck**
Hitman Unrated
I Am Legend
No Country for Old Men
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl*
The Prestige*
Saw IV
Silent Hill
UltraViolet*

* I got for free or only had to pay for shipping through various rebates with all my stuff.
** Got for half price because of a special, and it was the most interesting one to choose from. Not that great of a movie, but my girlfriend enjoyed it.
