I prefer the blu-ray menus that nicely pop up while the movie keeps playing. On DVD you always have to exit the movie first. They are pretty bare bones since all the extras are usually on a 2nd disc. Fine by me, I rather have the best picture quality available then the movie having to share it with the extras.

Best looking animation on blu-ray for me are Ratatoeille, Rango, Puss in Boots, Coraline, Princess and the frog.
Best looking movie upgrades: 2001, Blade runner, The shining, Pulp fiction
Best looking modern movies: No country for old men, The fall, The tree of life, 3:10 to Yuma, There will be blood, Star trek, Tron legacy, Avatar, Apocalypto
Best looking documentary: Life

I'm talking about main menus some Blu-rays have terrible ones I think its mainly movies made by Warner Brothers they usually start the movie as soon as you put in the disc instead of going to a menu first and the menus are terrible looking.  Blu-ray's by Universal and 20th Century Fox usually have good menu's.  Best looking upgrades so far for me has been The Wild Bunch (despite having a terrible menu),  GoodFellas (I have a very crappy DVD version that you have to flip to see the whole movie), and the Back to the Future Trilogy.  Also all Blu-Ray movies are on 50GB discs now so there is plenty of space for the movie and special features on one disc as long as their are not too many of them.

I'm just over or just unde 200. Last I looked on my PC yesterday I was at 236 movies, though I still have some DVD's. I know I have less than 50, probably less than 30.

Yeah...I'm pretty terrible about browsing Amazon and finding sales or sets. 

That said, I open them all once,put them on my PC (don't share them), and then store them.

True some of the menus are crap, I also hate the ones that make you wait to be able to do something. I like the Disney menus, or well at least the one from the last movie I watched. Pirates of the Caribbean On stranger tides, quickly offered to go to the main menu instead of having to skip all the previews 1 by 1.

50gb is not much for a movie. At 54mbps that's only 126 minutes. Any 2 hour movie with multiple soundtracks doesn't have room for extras. Longer movies already require you to swap discs like the Lotr extended edition and Ben Hur.
I'm glad to hear the back to the future trilogy looks good, it was an impulse buy and I haven't taken the time to watch it yet.



Only watched the first two movies so far, they look very good, was kinda a impulse buy also since it was very cheap.  It kinda sucks that they still have movies that come on two discs I thought that was a thing of the past.  Its still better then a format I never owned Laserdisc where you had to flip discs and change discs in order to see a movie.  Also most Blu-Rays dont have previews which I like.  VHS was the worst where almost every movie had multiple previews before the main feature.



Laserdisc still holds a lot of nostalgia for me. Feeling that heavy disc spin up through the vibrations in the floor does instill a sense of awe. CAV discs only have 30 minutes per side after which the machine spins down in the sudden silence to move the head assembly to the other side and spin up again. I miss that feeling of heavy machinery.
I don't miss getting up and wrestling those heavy discs in the dark in the middle of a movie.

My player doesn't work anymore and last time it did dvd had already surpassed Laserdisc in image quality on a modern tv. It was great for the time, especially hooked up to a CRT projector. Now I rather get a blu-ray version instead of buying a new player. Laserdisc's analog format will never look as good on digital tvs as it did on crt tvs.

I have Six (6). As long as you count 'Blue Planet' as one (its like 5 disk.) I got my first player in April of 2010. I have about 50 DVDs.

I, now, prefer to get media on the cloud, but sometimes the discount on a blu-ray is just too tempting. If I got a 3D TV I would get a few 3D ones.

PS Oh, and to make things confusing one, of my Blu-rays is "Halo Ledgens. " (oh the irony.)



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

347 at last count.

0. I have a blu-ray player but use it mainly to stream downloaded movies from my nas drive.



I have 11. I"m trying to build the ultimate blue-ray collection. I have around 50 DVD's though.



Oh, so if you own more than 50 you are in a club. Oooook.

I own 2, Watchmen, and I can't remember the other one, but I know there is another one.
Probably a hundred DVDs, a bunch of VHS and even some Betamax movies :) (I must admit it's been years since I watched a VHS or Betamax film)
