i don't know about that. how many times do you have to be told that video isn't the only thing Blu-Ray has to offer?
which better audio options and with only a few bucks over the dvd prices and with options to rent blu-ray how can someone still say that upscaling dvds are a better option when viewing movies on your HDTV.
and how many times do you have to be told to understand that when you don't have money to spend to use the technology to the proper extent even if it's the best thing since sliced bread people will have hard time using it, because you know, there's no money. It's called finding the middle ground. If it was as you want it, we would all be driving ferrari's and lamborghinis.
And what few bucks over DVD are you talking about? Terminator 2 DVD $1.99-$4.99 Blu-Ray version: $20+..
Only a few titles on sale and mostly new releases are "few" bucks more. People don't buy special edition versions (those are for collectors and super fans) most people buy just the regular version and that's hardly on the same level with Blu-Ray as well.
Wake up, not everyone lives of off mom's and dad's allowance and cable, upscaled DVDs and VOD HD look much better then analog we had before. So people are using HDTVs to it's abilities and when (if) studios lower prices to normal prices, we can talk about being it acceptable for the quality.
I haven't bought a DVD since I got my Blu-ray player a year ago. If I want to buy a movie and its not available on BD I'll just wait for it to be released and rent it in the meantime. Even when I rent from Netflix, I always go to the HD stuff first.
After you've gotten used to HD it is indeed a letdown to watch non-HD sources, even the pretty good ones like DVD. I'll do it only when there is no other option and its fine but its not what I really want. The issue is not the money, its the availability.
Besides, I rarely pay more than 20-24 for a BD which was what I was paying for DVD's at Best Buy in the early to mid 2000's.
In case people here don't already know, Bozster is just nifinity posting under yet another alias. It's been this guys mission in life since day one to post negative stuff about blu-ray and he's already been banned before here.
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”

Ben said: "but we believe that once you go Blu it's nearly impossible to go back to DVD. "
Yep, until reality of prices kicks in. Then most realize how good really upscaled DVD looks like for the price.

I'd be driving a Porsche.
At any rate, if I think the BD is too high I will wait or just rent. Now that I have a BD player I will not buy another DVD.
I got T2 for $10 at Walmart...
