Quality doesn't seem to mean much to most of the population (video or audio). If it did, why is mp3 format doing so well, and sacd and dvd-audio has all but died? People that are buying HT systems are buying $200-$300 systems, instead of quality systems. There's always gonna be some of us that...

I will probably watch the blu ray, but after seeing it at the Imax in 3D, I imagine the home version will be under-whelming. Quite a few people swears the story is the exact same story as Dances With Wolves. When they explain themselves, it does sound like it.

Under Siege / Inglourious Basterds or Public Enemies

Actually, the extended versions are the way they were meant to be seen in the theater. Jackson said they were scared people wouldn't sit in the theater that long, so they did the shorter versions for the theater. That's what I read, or heard, after the release of the EEs. In fact, it may be...

Oh yes! My favorite war movie. I know it's a mini-series, but I call it a 10+ hour movie. I have the regular dvd set. Since I'm getting the BD, I'll give the dvd set to my wife's brother.

Last: Star Trek Next: going to watch Funny People today. Last night I ordered Band Of Brothers on BD from Amazon.com. Since it's a Christmas present from my wife, she says I can't watch it until Christmas.............

Yesterday, my new Oppo BDP-83 came. We watched Independence Day last night. Tonight we're watching The Day The Earth Stood Still. Tomorrow, I'm going to watch Transformers 2.

What model is your Sony receiver?

I guess mp3s are probably good enough too? That seems to be most people's feelings, or sacd and dvd-a would have done better. DVD is good enough, is the kind of thinking that will kill blu ray too.........

I'll wait too........... Tom Bombadil was left out of the trilogy. Some other stuff too, that I can't remember at the moment. I would have loved it if each of the movies had been a couple of hours longer. :D The three extended editions totaled a little over 12 hrs. There was several hrs. of...

Watched the BD of the new "The Day The Earth Stood Still", on my friend's 46" LCD, using a Sony S550. PQ and SQ was excellent. Story was a little different from the original. I love the original movie, but nowdays the special effects and sound are so much better. I wasn't looking forward to...

Not really............. DVDs aren't competition at all. They aren't high def. The others mentioned aren't a physical disc, you own, and can watch anytime you want. You have to pay for them again, every time you want to watch them. They are not competition at all, for something you can watch any...

I know. But what I'm saying is, if both were still around, They would both probably be cheaper by now. But since BD has the monopoly on high def dvds, they're in no hurry to lower the price. If people quit buying them, then they'll lower the price.

By "no format wars", I think he meant that there's nothing to motivate them into lowering prices. That's exactly why I hated seeing HD DVDs go away. Competition is a good thing. It motivates to make hardware better, and keep prices down. Stopping HD DVDs was really stupid, IMHO. Prices may...

The extra scene at the end of the credits, happened at the theaters too. Most people at the theater get up and leave, when credits start rolling, so they miss stuff like this.

As of March 25, 2008: 9 mil. Blu Discs Sold To Date; 3 million Already This Year Hollywood In Hi-Def I've also read, but can't remember site or I'd link you to it, that Blu ray is selling more and faster than dvd ever did, in the same time period. So, blu ray is much more popular than dvd, with...
