I just watched a bit of the "Twister" Blu ray and I don't really notice the difference from a normal DVD. It's better looking, maybe a bit crisper, but I don't really see the advantage.

Yeah I've seen the high def stuff too & there's clearly a difference but It's not a huge one like going from vhs to dvd was. I'm saving my money while someone devolopes a microchip that will play movies.

I have a Blu-Ray player (PS3) and a HDTV and watch alot of dvd's and Blu-Rays, and i can most definitly say that there is a difference, resolution, crispness, detail, colors, the sound etc.
The Dark Knight Blu-Ray is really nice.

BW would probably look horrible on blu ray.

Cause of the cameras used, well they could probably upscale it, there are ways.

Depends on the way the compression is done. Some look great. Others look little different from the dvd version. Twister is not a good example.

I agree about The Dark Knight. That's a great example to use when comparing the 2 formats.

 Enough with the Dark Knight worship. Am I the only moron in the world that didn't care for it?

Enough with the Dark Knight worship. Am I the only moron in the world that didn't care for it? I didn't like it either. As far as Blu Ray is concerned, I have an LG Blu Ray player and a 52inch DLP HDTV. I highly recommend Blu Ray to you serious movie buffs (such as myself) out there. Not only do they look and sound better (in most cases), but they're less prone to damage than your standard DVD's. Just my two.  |

I'll only switch to blu-ray when movies are no longer available on DVD
Or the price goes down

I've seen and bought a lot of blu-rays from Wal-Mart for $10. New releases are still fairly high but I remember when they started releasing blu-rays, seeing them for $40 so they have gone down in price. Most of the new releases I see are around $20-$25.

I refuse to pay more than 20 bucks for a blu-ray. If it's something I want I'll wait until the price drops. And I check the online reviews to see how much the PQ is improved over the standard dvd.

It's been 12 years since Blu launched and it's still kicking ass.
But not all Blus were created equal. Some were almost straight DVD rips plastered onto a Blu disc, while others were top-notch remasters.
Back when I bought them, I would always check Blu-ray.com to make sure I only bought the very best copy. Some movies have multiple Blu-ray versions, varying in quality.
But for years now I only download.
