Dont PS3 sales count as blu ray sales? Durr its no wonder PS3 is selling like the Wii now.


No, I agree with this.  Still, keep in mind that more PS3's sold will mean more Blu ray busiess done.  All indicators say GO. 



Blu-Ray is so much better than DVD. Once you go HD, you don't go back. That is if you don't have a BC PS3. Then there is an exception with PS2 games.



i never really bought a lot of dvd's and it's falling into the same pattern for bluray.

If they lower the price till it is the same price as dvds then I may start buying them . But I see no reason why I would pay more just for a little better picture -_-

3x better picture and HD, lossless sound. There's a lot more to BD than the picture boost.

From what I have seen there wasn't that much of a difference, and what is "lossless sound"?

Lossless sound is uncompressed sound.

Get yourself to an Optician my good fellow.  And open your ears while you're at it!

Lossless sound is uncompressed and therefore losses nothing in playback.

As for visuals, sure, some cheap crap film isn't going to look that much better on BR, in fact it may look worse, but any film with decent cinematography looks much better (well, on a decent HD TV it does).  And as for films like 2001, Blade Runner, etc. they look sublime, heavenly and lovely (in that order too).



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

So now I have to buy a new T.V., go see a optician, and pay an extra $10 for Blu-ray discs? That is way to expensive I'll stick to standard DVD's thank you

Just rob a store for HD TV and speakers... actually, probably best you don't do that.  Stick to DVD and stay out of jail.
