Films

Compare the figures and the rantings of the film industry about piracy, they just don't match do they.

I maintain that the trend is far more dependent on the quality of the product.

Personally here is my main reason for buying very few DVDs.

I buy the film when it first becomes available, a few months later there is a directors cut and then a few months later there is a special edition with extra bonus material, and then eventually there is a final cut with even more deleted scences, alternative endings etc..............not forgetting that I will then have to buy it again if I want to see the film in HD and full magic f**king faerie dust,

It's a f**king ripoff, release the films in full etc once and once only

No-one has to upgrade from DVD to Blu-Ray. At least, not yet. Also a lot of new released (eg 'Up' next month) are coming out in a version that is DVD one side, Blu-Ray another and also contains a digital file that cam be played on iPods etc.

Plus all blu ray players play and upscale standard dvds. So its not such a leap.

And you can still keep all your dvd library

And then in a couple of years there will be SuperXrayQuantunSingularityTimeTravelDisc so we can buy them all over again

[t8yman]

there wont really be any physical media in a decade (or less) imho. everything will be stored in cyberspace on teh internets.

[pinback]

point taken, but we basically HAD to upgrade from vhs to dvd didnt we?

what are your views on a licensed digital copy?

[Atlanteanlost]

I didn't even realise this at first, until a mate told me his DVD player had conked out and he saw a bluray player for £75 and just replaced it. I don't see what the problem is really - £75 quid for a Philips (?) replacement DVD player that also plays Blu-rays. Bargain. I'm keeping my DVD collection and will be getting blurays mostly from now on.

I never used to go to the cinema in the first place, so the movie big wigs aren't losing any money from me.

But does it play DivX/Xvid

Synecdoche, New York is a weird one. Enjoyed it but still trying to piece it all together

Kaufman is a genius

Watched Sunshine tonight on TV, I was suitably impressed. Excellent soundtrack.

[nightcrawler13]

watching Fish Tank

what i thought might happen, but hoped would not, just did

[smog]

watched pulp fiction again for first time in years. awesome film

[Katster]

I finally got round to seeing Children Of Men.

I might have cried a little but I found the ending a bit sudden and not much of an ending at all. I hate bad endings.

whats the blu ray transfer like? great film but i never really see the point in getting old films on blu ray when i've already got them on dvd.

are they really any better?

[pinback]

now there's one film that looks good on blu ray!

[WS_Jack_III]

everyone needs to go to blu ray so the DVD can die and then blu ray disks will become cheaper.
