0 here as well. Played a couple on my PS3... really wasn't impressed.

What Blu rays did you watch?

I forget the name of it, but those "Earth" Videos, they had when the Blu-ray was pretty new.  My Aunt owned them and lent them to me.   That and a few random rented movies from blockbuster/redbox.

I still dont own any documentaries, I need to find those Earth and NatGeo ones.

Yeah something like that I can understand wanting better resolution for, I'd love to see some 1080 Blue Planet.

For films as long as I can tell what's going on I don't think resolution matters except for crap like Transformers/Avatar.... If I can't enjoy a film at 480 it's not going to make much difference at 1080. (Hell I watched a film last night on YouTube at 360p... I do tend to look for 480 res when streaming but in this case YouTube was my only option)

I can't even watch a dvd anymore, quality matters to me. I have the setup. I wanna watch it in the highest quality and lossless audio. There are even differences among blurays itself, some releases are better than others. Fight Club 10th anniversary edition is a lot better than the first release.

0. I mostly watch TV shows on physical media and hardly any of the ones I do like have blu-ray releases.

Streaming is the future!


I only stream stuff we don't get over here, like Parks & Recreation or It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.  I love those shows.

I'd buy them on DVD if they were out over here though.  I like owning things.

Have resident evil on bluray... it came free with my ps3. never watched it. While the BluRay player is a cool part of the ps3 I've a PC hooked up to my HDTV with full access to everything on my main PC in the other room so I watch all HD stuff through that.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

I'm pretty sure I have less than 20, so that's what I picked in the poll.

Counting sets as one though, like I have the Natural History Collection (BBC), Samurai Champloo (series) and the Lord of the Rings Extended trilogy. I don't have that many; The Matrix 1, The Dark Knight, 300, Halo, V for Vendetta, Braveheart, Led Zeppelin: The Song Remains the Same, Tales of Vesperia: First Strike. I also just picked up This is Spinal Tap for cheap when I was in the U.S. last week. Nice! Thinking about picking up the Brothers in Arms/The Pacific BR Set as well.

I was using my FF13 Lightning PS3 before, but I sold it recently (as I wasn't playing any PS3 games) and now I use a Panasonic DMR-BZT710 DVR/Blu-Ray Recorder ( http://panasonic.jp/diga/blu-ray/bzt810_710/index.html ) to watch movies on my Panasonic 42" Plasma, 5.1 Pioneer Surround Sound system.

I've counted 482 in the library, there are a more or less a dozen more around.
I have so many Bluray because my bother was a full time movie reviewer (now part-time only) so he has got most of his copies for free. I think we have bought about 50 or 60 blurays by ourselves.

I can't even watch a dvd anymore, [picture] quality matters to me. I have the setup. I wanna watch it in the highest quality and lossless audio. There are even differences among blurays itself, some releases are better than others. Fight Club 10th anniversary edition is a lot better than the first release.

Well obviously (although "can't watch a DVD anymore" is very much an overstatement.... hell if you have a decent setup you must be able to upscale your DVDs to 1080 anyway... which is what is happening with almost all your PS3 games from 720 or sometimes lower native resolutions)

The expense to upgrade just isn't worth what is (to me) a minor picture improvement... though I also don't subscribe to the huge TV in a small room idea (supposedly the perfect viewing angle is 30 degrees, I don't like having to switch looking from one side of a huge TV ot the other when the focus subject changes). The distance I am from my TV in my bedroom would require a minimum 32"TV for me to notice any benefit over 720p... and in the living room it would have to be 50" plus.
The former wouldn't actually fit in the place I have for my bedroom TV (I could fit just up to 26", though my curtain would obscure the left hand side... currently have a 19")
Again in the living room the current TV position wouldn't allow above 32" if I want to open the door to the hallway... we could go up to 50" over the fireplace, which I wouldn't mind as a TV position as long as it's safe (ie protected from the heat when the fire is on... I think it would be ok) except that the TV would be even closer to the viewer so it would be too big for my tastes. If I had my way a 1080p 40" would be perfect above the fireplace for me... I would be hard pressed to notice the difference between 720 and 1080 without getting up off the couch or maybe if there was a side by side comparison and I concentrated. (but without setting up 2 TVs I'm not going to have a side by side)

As it is 480 (or it may actuallt be 576i given this is Europe... bot sure if PAL standards crossed over when the analogue signal dropped) is fine for now in the living room until it breaks.
