blu-ray opinions?

as u may all know the infamous blu-ray player by samsung has been released in best buy stores in the us! they run for about 1k (999 USD)

i think it probably will not replace plain dvd's but i also think they will become quite popular as time progresses since sony is going to feature this in their ps3 and samsung recently released their blu-ray player, it will be big

but they r expensive...

i also saw a commercial "also available in blu-ray" lmao!

wht about you guys?

blu ray is a rip off when dvd is good already

Give it time and the prices will drop.

Blu-ray wil be used for HD dvd's, you can only fit 20 minutes of a high HD movie on a normal dvd disc, so with blu-ray thats solved, and HD is goin to be used in cinema's soon, so a movie will be a disk, not a big reel of film. And they're not just dvd's, think of the data side to it the normal blu-ray hold 27 GB, but theres ones that hold 50GB aswell, and thats per layer. So no azndragon60640, its not a rip-off.

my thoughts exactly mark

but i sure hope blu-ray doesnt render dvd's completly obsolete! i just bought a 100 stack of dvd-r's!

anyone see superman?

Superman is a boring movie to watch fell as sleep during the movie.

I wouldn't recommend you going to see it.

Nah dvd's will stick around, sure has anyone ever heard of dvd-audio cd's? they're around, but cd's are still all the rage.

lol cds... i go through cd-r's like water... anyone ever played ultimate frisbee with cd-r's? cept u use 25 at a time

its quite fun

You know, there are a lot of good translators out there. Do a Google search for swedish/english translator. Just copy/paste the foreign text into one side, and it will give it to you in english on the other side. Came in all kinds of handy when I was tryin to read a russian website. It wouldn't give me 100% translation, as russian is very difficult to begin with, but iit was enough to figure out what I wanted to know...

I was told by a techno geek that the blu ray's will all be reverse engineered so that they will play all old style dvd's as well.

Makes sense, cause the PS3 will be backware compatible with the old discs wich are dvd's so i'd say its true.

bluray burners are 1k still in US?
Cheapest I saw so far has been around $700USD here.. But still dropping.

Hey a colleague of mine ordered a movie on blu-ray the other day, but who knows when the players will be out in Europe?

May the best format win!
