    What do you recommend as a must have?

    I have:

    3:10 to Yuma
    No Country For Old Men
    Apocalypto


    I have seen (but wouldn't buy):

    Gone Baby Gone
    We Own the Night
    Resident Evil: Apocalypse

    I was thinking about getting 300 and The Departed on Blu-Ray. I am going back and forth with 300 since I already have it on dvd. Amazon.com has pretty good prices and shipping is free over 25 I think so if I order those 2 together it will be cheaper than in the store.

    I have Spiderman 3 because it came free with my PS3. It looks amazing. Too bad it couldn't make the movie better.

    I thought 300 actually looked kind of shitty. I think it was so digital that blu-ray exposed it's flaws. I actually suggest you get BBC's Planet Earth. Right now amazon has it for like 50% at $47 so the whole series is only about $17 more than feature length film. That should be every blu-ray owners number one priority even if it cost like $200.00. By far the best thing I've purchased for mine. I'd also suggest I am Legend.

    My problem with blu-ray is that I just gave up on DVD's, bought an Archos 605 (which kicks your ipod's ass BTW) and just started stealing AVI's. The prospect of actually paying for movies again is just fucking with my head. I look at those $30 price tags and knowing I could have it for free in AVI makes me not even buy them. Like I said though, planet earth was totally worth it.

    If you don't have Planet Earth on Blu-ray then you don't have shit. It's worth the $80 that I spent on it a few months ago.

    Dude I will shit you not. I paid $500.00 for it and I think it's worth $1000. The best thing I ever bought. Stand alone- The battery holds up for 3-4 hours on videos about 12 for music. The thing is; it has a docking station that hooks up to your TV so you can play stuff on it, record from your TV or wirelessly stream stuff from your computer to your TV. It also has a fully functioning web browser so you can surf the web on your TV and play youtube/flash on your TV. The station charges it so if you use it in conjunction with said TV the battery never dies. Also has a touchscreen.

    Also, it doesn't have software. It just hooks up to your computer as aUSB device. It records in AVI so after you record Jazz games it takes about 30 seconds to transfer them to your computer. Holds up to 160 Gigs. other models with less capacity available. Start saving then go buy one.

    if I plan on buying a HD DVD player I am just better off buying a PS3 right? I won't play it much but why not I suppose.

    No matter what you do don't get an HD DVD player. I don't know if stores are being evil and selling them still, but the format's dead. Unless you meant HD DVD in reference to Blu-Ray, which I think you did.


    On an unrelated note: I don't think Gone Baby Gone would be a movie that benefits from blu-ray, but I thought it was just an awesome flick.

    Yessir, PS3's the one. Although I heard through the tech-blog grapevine that Microsoft is grudgingly accepting the idea of putting blu-ray in their x-box 360. It's just rumor, but I'd bet 360 is supporting blu-ray by the end of the year.

    Actually I just remembered that I have a few more blu-ray movies. I have The Patriot, Full Metal Jacket, The Omen, Pirates of the Caribbean, and The Devil's Rejects. Those also came free with the PS3.

    It was alot better that AVP. It was the first movie I wanted since getting BluRay. So I figured it might as well be a BluRay movie. Just to see how the quality is.

    I have:

    Casino Royale
    The Departed
    3:10 To Yuma
    Robocop


    The kiddo has:

    Ratatoullie

    My problem with having a Blu-Ray (PS3) is that now I don't want to buy anything on plain ol' DVD anymore. Even if it's an old movie that I know Blu-Ray wouldn't help.

    Oh, and the scene in Robocop where ED-209 malfunctions and turns that dude into hamburger sounds SO much cooler in surround sound...

    I bought mine in January of this year and the package I purchased came with Spiderman 3 in the box. I was told about the other 5 free movies when I bought the game system. I had to go to a website and print out a form and send it out for the others. It took 2 months for me to get those.

    I'm sure it's out there, but do you really want to see porn in HD?

    Not me.

    Crystal clear ass acne and labiaplasty scars are definitely in the TMI category, as far as I'm concerned.

    You need a 1080p HDTV to really experience the Blu-Ray to its highest potential.
