So, what is the difference? Besides having to buy another player and the same movies again. It's all a ploy to take more money from you.

the pic is more life like

Until the day I die..

DVD's are here to stay... Blu-Ray is just a passing fancy at the moment since as I type this better tech is being developed in China and will be out sometime in the next one to two years.. Besides Blu-Ray is rather expensive and not everyone can afford it

How long are you going to keep making topics blabbing on about how good blu ray is and asking when people are going to change and so on...

I will keep buying dvds as long as they are avaliable. It's stupid to say there is no difference because there is a change in the quality of what you see on blu ray, but not enough to be important if you have a good television, and even an upscaling dvd player.

Still seeing it at a good cinema is still the best way in quality.

I hope i dont get told of for having a dvd collection in ten years time

Pardon?

For the rest of my life. F*** Blu-Ray. It's not even good.

I am never buying another DVD, the VHS to DVD was a big step up, but the DVD to Blu-Ray was just amazing All respect to the people that are not "quality" snobs and think DVD quality is just fine, but there are alot of people who have a stick up their behinds because they want to have all their movies on Blu-Ray but are angry about the fact that their DVD versions are inferiour to the Blu-Ray releases.

Screw Blue Ray, I am still buying VHS. DVD is here to stay.

I wish alot of people could agree with you i stopped buying dvds too

The difference between VHS to DVD was a lot compared to DVD to Blu Ray.

I do like your comment on the 'quality snobs' though, that seem to try to force and think they are superior to others who still watch DVD... idiots.

IN terms of say picture quality? then the differance between DVD and Blu-Ray is even bigger then VHS to DVD. not just an opinion but fact.

It might be going by the tech specs, but on the eyes it's vastly different.


It's not big enough in quality to warrant going straight to blu ray, unlike VHS to DVD.

Not missing out on an important change. Doesn't make the film experience inferior.

I do see great differance on my TV, and I think the film experience dose get alot better with Blu-Ray, but then again this is very subjective.

Also some movies like say a regular comedy (shall we say Monthy Python or perhaps American Pie) don't care too much about the quality there, but if it's going to be a movie like King Kong or Gladiator I would want that to be in Blu-Ray because of the superiour camera/effects, and say cinematography which is normally better in thse types of movies.

I definitely see way more of a difference from VHS to DVD, it's like night and day.

That said, I'm gonna keep buying DVDs. I don't wanna drop the cash for a Blu-ray player or PS3, plus the extra cost for Blu-ray discs. DVDs are much more affordable and much more plentiful. I can't even get a ton of the movies I'd want in Blu-ray, they're non-existent.

I go to the cinema for that.

I buy when I want.

1) No, that's not fact. Like, at all. Blue Ray is DVD with different quality. DVD from VHS was an entire reformatting.
2) "Quality snobs", huh? Hypocrite.

Forever.

I been cutting back on my DVD purchases. Which is a good thing in a way...been adjusting my budget for almost a year now and it helps to cut back at times. Besides all the movies that I ever wanted on DVD have already been released. So...yeah..

Till I DYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! Nah, just till something else establishes themselves as the norm. Which won't be anytime soon I think. Only porn can decide the next norm for movie watching, it helped VHS move in as the norm.

That's probably the most times I've ever used the word 'norm' in a sentence ever...

been cutting on expenses here and there. and dvds are on that list. i just watch cable or go online.

How long?
May be one day.

One weeks ?

I will keep buying or renting DVDs until they no longer have any movies that interestes me.

no reason to stop buying them.....i mean blu-ray is more expensive and is barely better then HD.....beside blu-ray cost to much to become the new dvd so i really doubt it ever happens.

Blue ray is awesome but buying DVD's is over rated now when you can just house them on an external drive.
