I've never watched a blu ray film, now i've got a PS3 and i'm wondering whether it is worth buying blu ray movies or just keep buying dvds (becuase i have two other dvd players and my laptop)....
so basically, is the quality good enough to out-weigh only having one player for it?
i hope that makes sense
Answer
Claim #1: Blu-ray discs and players are too expensive.
Fact: You can find functional Blu-ray players for under $100. The Panasonic DMP-BD60, a very good player, is less than $200. And the best players are under $300. DVDs and VHS players cost just as much at one time in the past.
The price of Blu-ray discs varies. I own 15 Blu-ray discs and have only paid more than $20 for Band of Brothers. Even that one was only $36. I just bought four on eBay for under $12 each. They're only expensive some places. And if you buy Blu-rays or DVDs at a brick and mortar store (i.e. Best Buy, Borders) you aren't a very savvy shopper.
Look at Watchmen's price on Amazon. The Blu-ray is actually four dollars cheaper than the DVD. The Blu-ray for True Blood Season 1 is only $5 more than the DVD. There are countless examples of how the "Blu-ray is too expensive" statement is overblown. Bottom line: Blu-ray is no more expensive than DVD was *before Blu-ray drove the price down*.
Claim #2: Blu-ray and DVD resolution is the same.
Fact: Just because a movie isn't shot with an HD camera doesn't mean you can't see it in HD. Film, the medium on which virtually all movies have been shot, is higher resolution than DVD. Assuming it's in good shape, it can even provide higher resolution than Blu-rays.
All that said, if you have a large HDTV you will appreciate Blu-ray more. If you have a home theater system you will appreciate Blu-ray more. I would keep buying DVDs, but purchase Blu-rays for the movies that count, like Pixar, Transformers, Batman and other action movies.
