IMO, many people mistakenly think that people upgraded from VHS to DVD due to image quality... they didn't.

People upgraded from VHS to DVD because DVD offers extra features (documentaries, subtitles in several languages etc), durability, menus and ease of use (no more rewinding). Picture quality was also a factor, but a small one.

Blu-Ray over DVD only offers better picture quality. Most people don't care, certainly not enough to justify buying a new player and 30-50% more expensive movies.

oh please spare the BS a bluray movie is about £2 more expensive than the DVD version where I live (if you look in the right place)

there are no more excuses bluray is now affordable.

finally once you go bluray, you never turn back, lol.

Unfortunately I'm not planning to pay you a visit, otherwise I would be buying some movies where you live. As it stands, I'm limited to buying movies where I live :P

But I'm checking some random movies at Amazon UK, and:

- The Dark knight - BR is 2x more expensive

- Transformers ROTF: BR is 3x more expensive

- 500 days of Summer: BR is 41% more expensive

So unless I was really unlucky in the movies I checked, you seem to be wrong.

 

Anyway it's probably my bad because I buy my blurays at Asda, and they seem to have overpriced DVD's there, and the Bluray is always around £2 more expensive(normally comes in at the £12 mark), but still you are complaining about the dark knight being around £10, it is not that expensive, unless you are a teenager and have no money that is....

Edit: it does not matter, dvd's are half of the price of bluray's at the moment, but last time i bought a bluray it was a £2 difference.
