Haha. So who isn`t Blu-Ray better for? Those who wants bad quality? Yuk yuk. Let`s just state: If you got some rupees to spend, Blu-Ray si BETTER. Good night. I`m off too bed now. Thanks for the arguments :)

 

Wow, just wow. I'm blown away by this argument especially in the middle of a global recession. Many people have zero interest in investing thousands of dollars in an AV setup. We have bills and priorities. BR is better to the video/audiophile with limitless funds. To people who just want a cheap disk that contains a film they love DVD is often good enough. The sarcasm in your post makes you come off as an elitest who is out of touch with the mainstream media buyer- normal people who would rather put food on the table than get an extra sound channel.

 

And to they guy saying you can download Blu-Ray movies- I'm stunned to hear something so hillarious on a site populated by nerds. You do realize Blu-Ray didn't invent HD right?

 

What really cracks me up is that I am videophile who rarely watches DVDs and even I understand the concept of not upgrading.

The point I think these people are making is that those were the same arguments that were used when the switch from VHS to DVD transpired and we all know how that turned out.

 

Well I think that is as stretch. DVD had a lot of advantages over VHS that don't exist between BR and DVD (rewinding, size, durabuility, production cost, ect). Plus back then online video was pretty limited, now it is everywhere.
