If you know the movie is worth watching on blu-ray and owning, it is a lot cheaper to preorder. There are a number of Blu-Ray players now available for under 150, sometimes under 1 If you shop around a bit the price differential for Blu-Ray discs vs standard DVDs is in the 3-5 range and the gap is narrowing. The price argument against Blu-Ray is becoming less true all the time. Even the best upscaling of a really good DVD source does not equal Blu-Ray and DVD sound cannot compete with the lossless BD audio formats. 46 Samsung, Dvd does not look near as good as cable HD with my Samsung upscaling player. Havent hooked up a Blu Ray yet but if it is as good as HD the difference would stand out very much. Target has lots of DVD from 6 to 10 in SoCal. Blu-ray needs to start going for volume. Back way-y-y-y back when CDROM disks made their debut, tons of crummy software was shoveled onto the new miracle and shovel-ware was born. Ive been concerned about just what kind of quality to expect when buying older movies that have been burned to the new wonderchild Blu-shovel ware?Obviously some are better than others. Bruce, the best thing you can do is check review sites on the blu-ray transfer quality. These sites are a great resource in showing Elsewhere is worth buying or not. Its especially handy for older movies being transferred to blu-ray. If they ever transfer the movie Gizmo a very funny documentary and tribute to inventors to DVD or Blu-Ray, Ill want it. I know its not going to transfer well because it contains some extremely old footage alot of black and white and some from the very early 1900s but in some cases whats on the disk is more important than the quality of the picture. DVD to Bluray is a monster jump, if you dont believe it you better go get your eyes checked. If you own a Tv with a screen size of 42 inches or larger bluray is a night and day differance. Bluray also kicks digital video streaming by a land slide, who needs all that skip and jump from poor buffuring and slow internet. Seriously you guys need either better bluray players oy better led lcds or you need a hearing aid and a new pair of glasses?? do u people look at im upset there really is a huge difference with bluray vs dvd. go to best buy and check out the setups talk with a specialist and let him put a show on for you with at least a samsung 1080p led lcd 120hz or 240hz with bluray and watch pirates of the caribbean. put this equation together hdtvdvd-sdtv480i now hdtvhddvd or blurayhdtv now if u understand what im saying thank you! if you dont, well go to best buy and have a salesmen show you the difference with dvd vs bluray lets not forget bluray gave toshibas hd dvd a run for there The quality of the transfer and the original format a movie was shot in can really impact the quality of a Elsewhere ray. Flicks shot on video often dont have the same visual impact as movies shot on film at least they dont on a big 1080p plasma mated to a blu ray player. LCDs with 120 Hz and anti-judder make everything look like soap opera video any way, so the comments from some not being able to discern any appreciable difference between blu ray and upconverted dvd may have a grain of truth. After living with blu ray for a couple of years I could never go back anyone wanna buy some DVDs? Whoever says Batman Begins is better than the Dark Knight needs to watch them again.
