| rocketpig said: Honestly, I don't see anyone paying that much attention to Blu-ray until Lucas and Speilberg start making movies for the format. On top of that, they need to provide the uber-geek / early tech adopter crowd with fan favorites like LotR. When those types of movies start hitting shelves in Blu-ray format, then we might see it start to take off. Until then, I think it will plod along with marginal gains. Right now, we're not getting many movies that really take advantage of the format and are over 2 years old. Shit, I haven't even bought a Blu-ray movie yet. I have rented a few but with the pathetic selection available and the multitude of DVDs I already have, there isn't much point in me dropping $30 to watch mediocre movies like Spider-Man 3 or Resident Evil: Extinction. |
Having the right movies on Blu-ray would definitely help the format, but having the players at $400 and up is a road-block for mass acceptance. I'm waiting for something $200 or less before I move to Blu-ray.
