Girl Gamer Elite said: Blu-Ray isn't out of the woods yet, it still has to convince the consumer its worth bothering with. Even if Blu-Ray helps the PS3, it does little more than create a PSP scenario as its appeal as it could become more desireable for its secondary features. Either way, its dubious to think Blu-Ray is actually doing terribly well when Sony is forced to give away free movies with their PS3. |
Just wondering, have you watched a Blue Ray movie on a 1080p TV yet ?
Because it is an amazing experience ( try Kingdom of Heavens Director's cut).
As for the free movies offer, now that HD-DVD is dead I woudn't be surprised if that offer stopped soon.
Otherwise I agree with you I don't think people are going to replace their DVD library with a Blue Ray library.
What is going to happen is for new titles, especially those with decent special effects or scenery, over time Blue Ray will become a susbtential part of the sales .
And as sales of new DVD are a huge part of the total DVD sales, that is not so bad.
But yeah, for older movies, aside a few exceptions ( LoTR extended edition comes to mind, that would be the 4th LoTR copy I own lol..) I woudn't replace my DVDs with Blue Rays.
Besides you don't need to replace your entire library, a Blue Ray players plays DVD, whereas DVD players don't play VHS...
If I was Warner or any other studio I woudn't bother coming with new releases in Blue Ray of older movies except the big hits ( Lotr, Die Hard, Star Wars yes, John Wayne's no).
