Re: Blu-ray wins format war

One thing I'll never buy on BR is TV/HBO type series. No freaking way will I spend that kind of money on to watch a TV series no matter how good it looks. Movies = great, but I can live with regular DVD's for a series.

Well, I'm sorry, but BSG needs to be seen in HD!! It's absolutely amazing!! I can go without Lost in HD, but I must have BSG on HD!!!!

That's funny--my Blu-ray copy of Iron Man was preordered at Amazon way back on May 26th. It was in my Gold Box so I got an extra discount.

Rambo and First Blood are must haves IMO. The other two not so much.

See I'm not such a fan of FB but do like the rest of the movies. So thats why I'm thinking about getting the rest and I can live with the first one.

Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd - 10/21
Stardust - December

Also, we've learned that 20th Century Fox is working on the following titles for Blu-ray Disc release before the end of the year (or early in 2009 - these are in addition to catalog BD titles that we've mentioned previously)...

Daredevil: Director's Cut
Firefly: The Complete Series
The X-Men Trilogy
The Planet of the Apes Collection
The Deception
Jewel of the Nile: Special Edition
Dude, Where's My Car?
What Happens in Vegas

We'll post more information on these titles as it becomes available. As always, keep in mind that these titles and dates are unofficial and are subject to change until they're actually announced by the studio."

I would think they'd put Indy 4 out on BR as well as the others.

Well, look at how long it took Lucas just to adopt DVD!! That guy hates change. I don't think we will see stuff on BR from Lucas until like 2009 or later!

He may not like change, but he doesn't mind "updating" his movies every now and then.

Re: Blu-ray wins format war

What would you guys say is the best BD Player? Suggestions?

 

[Sick Boy 82]

Re: Blu-ray wins format war

Are you talking about regular affrordable, like $1500 and lower or unaffordable, like $5K and higher??

Affordable:

Not at all a PS3 fanboy, more of a 360 fanboy. But the PS3, at this time, is the best Blu-Ray player. I do believe that when the new Pioneer Elite Blu-Ray players come out later this year, then Sony could have some contenders. Those will most likely be from $2K and down. But remember, you get a very nice gaming console with that very nice Blu-Ray playrer with the PS3!

Unaffordable:

You can open up an fancy home theater magazine and find Blu-Ray players that start at around $5K and go higher, to like $30K. These are for people with the $30K projectors.

Or just go to the AVSForum.com and they will tell you what they think. A lot of those guys are real world installer guys with tons of knowledge.
