You also need to have a decent HD TV and at least 5.1 speaker sound to get anything out of BluRay, which again is only a small percentage of america right now. Good BluRays are $25+ while DVDs are $10 . The recession didn't help the big surge in HD TV sales either so while BluRay will in the end take over DVD, it's getting hit with some ruff times right now. |
Blu-ray players have already hit the $100 mark. And to say the only reasonable blu-ray player is the PS3 is being naive. Sony and Samsung both make $200 blu-ray players that are really good.
As for the price arguement on the movies again. You cannot compare the standard versions of the DVD to Blu-ray since you get all of the special features in the blu-ray release. And most of the time for new releases the price of blu-rays are around $25, while the DVDs are $20.
