HD-DVD was hype and so is blu-ray. I have both players and dozens of movies on each format. But when I'm looking for a new movie, am I going to pay $30+ for a blu-ray or $15-20 for a DVD that I can still watch in 1080p? Granted, it does not have the superior sound of blu-ray, but is sound really worth double the cost?

The DVD's you watch are upscaled not true native 1080p such as Blu-Ray. And there's only around a $10 difference between most movies that are on DVD/BR in stores, so that's not doubled the price.

So, saying the sound is the only quality different from DVD and Blu-Ray is just silly.

So if you don't prefer true HD video, more special features and better sound quality with your movies, then you shouldn't even have a Blu-Ray player.

And many movies on blu-ray are not true native 1080p. Watch Total Recall, for one example.

I guess that depends where you shop. I never pay full price for anything; most of my movie collection is the result of bundles, promotions, sales, etc. My entire HD-DVD collection (about 30ish movies) set me back less than $150.

Most of my blu-rays are box sets.

So, saying the sound is the only quality different from DVD and Blu-Ray is just silly.

Depends on the movie

Take silly things personal?

Some old movies probably aren't, because they're re-mastered for HD anyway. So some may be 720p, still HD though.

Depends on the movie

Exactly. Besides.. why are you knocking the price of HD, when DVDs were first out for some quite time, they cost around 40 bucks....

:rofl:

No lol. Just giving advice.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      You would hope so. I’m confused why the sports world seems split on Bryce when he’s obviously not working out.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      So let’s do the reverse? Make everyone agree everything he does is a disaster? I also think the whole “gaslighting” is on the eye of the beholder. It went from he can’t avoid one single sack countered with he actually did that well Sunday (with data backing it) to a little breakdown of why he is so bad. People are going to have different opinions. I’m also not going to pretend this wasn’t happening Day one with this little QB.

      All this great stuff he has done, how often does he do it?  I have it at three or four games out of 14 where he was very good and then you get a drive here or a series there where there are some good things. Here is the gaslight part: everyone has put him on a curve with his first year the baseline, neglecting to understand how bad he was then. Even if he comes back twice as good, where does that really leave him? 25th ranked or thereabouts.     He had so far to go, and still does, it is a Major ‘settle’ to accept his play as worthy of giving him our future.  You want to settle when the Bucs have Mayfield, and the Saints have overtaken us at QB? We will be third in the division at QB. That is good enough for y’all?
