    I've got a PS3 :)

    But I've got no desire to purchase or watch any Blu-ray films.

    Anyone who buys a Blu-ray player is a dumbass, The PS3 has one of the highest rated Blu-ray players and is usually cheaper that just a player.

    yea i know,that's why i've got a PS3

    Some blu ray movie cost three time more than normal DVD. I would never buy one myself. However, there are netflix (online dvd renting service) that cost only 24 buck a month.

    Some movie look exactly the same as DVD (eye wide shut, run lola run) but some looks totally different (LOTR, xMEM)

    No, I haven't got one as yet. But I would like to know what the difference is between a normal dvd player and blue ray, is it the quality of the picture? :eek:

    I don't find any good reason to buy Blu-ray yet.
    Don't have enough money for it as well :)

    yea, it looks much better. IMO DVD is good enough, but Blu Ray is really good

    from june 8-13 walmart is offering a $100 gift card with the purchase of a blu-ray player, including the ps3. that means you could get a player for $200, essentially. also they'll be reducing the price of br movies to $15

    newegg doesn't refund, even if the system is not opened. Anyway, walmart charge tax so half of the $100 is gone (399x.0825)

    I have no intention of buying blu-ray dvd's or a player, I just do not watch enough movies to justify the cost, maybe some day.
