I keep about 110 hours of HD programming on my DVR right now. It's all either TV shows or movies, but the movies rotate -- I don't like watching most movies many times, but some stuff like 40 year old virgin i keep around so I can watch it a lot.

I have Talladega Nights it came with my ps3. But i don't have a HDTV, got 5.1 sound and a 37" SDTV. Still waiting for prices to come down some more, then i'll get a 42" 1080p one in about a year. Then i'll get lots of Hd movies.

I've never seen a movie where i thought "This movie would be better if it was more sharpy defined." So paying extra for it is pointless for me. I don't see buying any movies or TV shows in Blu-ray until Blu-ray is the only option to buy them in... or as cheap as DVDs. Blu-Rays on Amazon are almost as cheap as DVDs in-store.  Many are as cheap as $17.95. Considering the fact that I buy most of my CDs online already (you'll never find the stuff I listen to in a store), 'll occasionally tack on a movie as well. Also, you obviously haven't seen an HD movie running in 1080p.  It looks amazing!  Easily worth  the extra couple of bucks from Amazon, imo.

Oh I have. It's just that I am bored by Fireworks. Watching fireworks is about the same as watching a brick wall to me. Graphics without substance are kinda meaningless to me. They don't enhance my appreciation of something, only make it worse if the graphics are just outright horrible. (Like FF7's) Even spending 2 dollars more is a bit much. Of course if all things are equal i'll get the better graphics but other then that it really doesn't matter to me. I'm also not the type to just leer at women (or men) so that part of the equation is out for me too. I mean if I was a porn guy or something I could see the merit in HD porn... but that's about it. I mean, i've watched football in HD and all I came away with was that the sportscasters look WORSE in HD because well... they're old... and I can live without seeing Warren Saps butt in high definition. A movie is a movie to me so long as I get the whole thing that's all i care about. (Same with TV shows which i'm actually more likely to buy.)

 I can understand.  The big HD sellers for me are big production movies like LotR.  Sure, football games aren't enhanced that much by HD, but some of the scenes in LotR are simply stunning.

Casino Royale (freebie) and The Patriot. I'm waiting for my copy of Paprika (anime). Soon I'm going to buy some more because our distributor gets serious about Blu-Ray (more than 15 new movies this month)

Definitely I will pick up :

Apocalypto

Troy

Blade Runner (remastered, "final" edition) 

I'm waiting for Rome (both seasons) the most but there is no release date even in US as for now...

 

I have an HDDVD player.

for the LOTR worrier, don't forget HD-DVD can do double and triple layer, 30gig DLs are becoming more common all the time. Im sure 30gig is more than enough for a 3.5 hour movie. Ive seen a HDTV rip of TTEE in 720p and it looks awesome and thats only 8GB.
When they come out in a HD box set ill be buying them and a player.

I don't have BluRay or HD-DVD, but I do have a few rips of the two formats.

TV:

Planet Earth (Wow!) and Band of Borthers (Uber-Wowzors!!!)

Movies:

300
Blade Runner (HDTV Rip)
Gone in Sixty Seconds
Knocked Up
Saw
Saw II
Shaun Of The Dead
Smokin' Aces
Snatch (HDTV Rip)
The Fast And The Furious
The Transporter
TMNT

What I'd really love is to have a bunch of Pixar movies in HD. Cars was originally produced at 2048x1080 pixels, I have the 720p trailer of it and it is beautiful.

I think CGI movies will look more amazing than anything in HD.

 1080p has over twice the resolution of 720p, so it would take up at least twice the space.  Also, as I stated earlier, my far stems from the fact that Universal had to cut lossless audio from King Kong because it wouldn't fit on a dual-layered disc.  King Kong isn't as long as the LotR: EE, so they'll either be missing lossless audio as well, or else will be split up onto two discs per film.

As for tripled layered discs, the current drives used in HD DVD palyers can read any HD DVD discs with more than two layers.  The same goes for all Blu-Ray players on the market.  Those 200gb 8-layer discs won't see the light of day for a while, because nobody can play them.

Cars and Ratatouille are hitting Blu-Ray later this year, either in October or November, I can't recall which.  I'm waiting for Finding Nemo myself. :D
