Blu ray's you own?

Post by kingdomheights777 »

I have been collecting them for about a year now, i am up to 93 only about 10 are double dips from my dvd versions. But the studios not utilizing the whole 50 gigs per disc is really aggravating ...

most recent blu's
shawshank redemption
resident evil degeneration

I have 3

Alien Vs Predator R
Dark Knight
Iron Man

And the tech is new so give it a while. Besides I thought blue ray was 80 gigs O.o. I love the picture and I like how some dvds give you a digital copy.

Anyways I only got the movies I really wanted and that's what I will probably do until the price for blue ray goes down as it becomes more of the norm. I will prob buy the ocean's box set next time though.

I own one bluray, 300 and it looks like shit. I have also have a DVD player that upscales regular DVDs. I'll be honest, I'm not seeing a $15.00 difference. And with Netflix, owning Blurays seems pointless. If they were $5.00 more maybe I would own more but $10.00 to $15.00 more than a DVD is crazy.

0 Blu Rays

3 HD-DVDs - all of which have DVD sides and cost just as much as the DVD counterpart when I purchased them

Neither are worth it in my opinion. The masses are NOT videophiles and prefer convenience and affordability over slightly better picture.

Since I have the ps3 and its an awesome blu--ray player, of course i have blu-ray's... games anyway. Ive seen a blu-ray high def movie but still quite a few things i would do before looking at the fine lines and cracks in somebody's skin...

i have around 35 blus. 4 are double dips from dvd. I have an upscaling dvd player, and am not a videophile, and to tell you the truth I cant watch dvds on ether of my hdtvs, they just seem to bland.
i agree through, that blu-ray disks need to come down in price for the format to survive

I hadn't heard of 'double dips' in this context before, presumed this is where you purchase a further copy of something you already own on dvd or video, and went on urban dictionary to check - it came up with something quite different - http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.p ... double+dip you guys are just filthy!

I've had a PS3 since this summer (when MGS4 came out) and have picked up about 40-50 Blu-rays since then. With a few exceptions, I have bought movies that were on sale or bought used BDs. About half of my discs are upgrades of standard-def DVDs that I owned - I traded in or sold almost all of those that I upgraded. If I factor in the money from selling the stuff I upgraded, I doubt I've spent more than $10 a disc - probably closer to $7 or so. Solid blu-ray libraries can certainly be built cheaply if you know how/when to buy certain titles. Additionally, I've seen prices drop on BD almost every month or so in the past year.
