This is one area where a burglary turned out to be a good thing. :up:

You too?

Wait what?

I've had bluray since the PS3 came out. Wonderful bluray player by the way. It does a lot more than just bluray and games as well. Criterion uses it as their reference player. Good enough for me!

I only own planet earth and that disney movie that just came out. I rent all my movies from Netflix. I buy only a few movies, those that I dont' mind watching over and over.

you should catch more of those films. I know alot of Adults dont like them cause there for "Kids" but those movies are great. The picture/audio quality are awesome.

Check out Kung Fu Panda if you havent

It's on sale at Best Buy for 14.99. I never saw it but heard good things. Might pick up the BD for that price.

I had like 80% of my movies stolen from my apartment, and rather then using the insurance money to get dvds again, I just started to replace movies as blu-rays.

And I bought Kung-fu Panda, I liked it. It has some great PQ, not sure about sound since my sound system is in storage at the moment.

The Matrix Blu-ray was incredible. The greens and the blacks are so much sharper. I also noticed that when they did close ups on Trinity, she had a lot of facial hair and Morpheus has very large pores. I'll watch the other two tomorrow or early on Sunday.

I'm thinking of grabbing Casino Royale on Blu-Ray. Does anyone have that one?

I have both. Frankly I wasn't so sure the Collector's edition was worth the extra $9 but they're both great. If you can find the collector's edition that is under $3-4 dollars more than the original release, I'd go for it. Either way, you won't lose.

Ready for Round 2? I got my crowbar in hand and I could use some blu-ray upgrades of your original dvd's. :shifty:

You'd be getting about half hd-dvds and half blu-rays. :tongue2:

At least the 360 HD-DVD add-on will have some worth then. :lol:

Saw some Blu-Ray at Best Buy they were playing Transformers and it looked incredibly cheesy. Quality was amazing just looked weird.

Deal of the Day on amazon.com is BD Die Hard box set for only 47.

I'd jump on that if I didn't already have it. I think though that the live free and die hard is not the uncut version like the stand-alone.

They had it for $38 at Frys during Black Friday (which I got then). Took amazon long enough.

Meh, I have the HD-DVD versions and there's really not a significant difference worth forking so much money over.

I did, in fact, cash in on that -- got The Shining and The Mist.

I ordered Transporter 1 & 2 from amazon.fr.

They had a buy 1 get 1 sale.

Supposedly the french versions have better PQ and are uncut.

I meant the Quality of picture Blu-Ray is in makes it weird.

I got late Xmas presents last night. The Dirty Harry box set and Rambo II on Blu Ray. I know, they were not filmed in high def but Dirty Harry looks really good and the sound is excellent.
