Re: HD-DVD Only People: Which Blu-ray Movies Would You Buy?

Haha true. It also makes me appreciate optical disks more as I forgot how annoying it is to rewind VHS tapes and you can't forward instantly to the next chapter. My son doesn't care though. He's just happy watching his videos

Prof...this is why I have a combo player...HD DVD and Blu-ray...so I can enjoy the movies I already have on HD DVD and rent future titles on Blu-ray.

There are some titles only available on HD DVD that have never been released on either HD DVD or Blu-ray in North America, specifically titles from Europe...you know, that continent across the ocean

There may come a day when I might purchase Blu-ray product, but not until the pricing schema becomes a little more affordable.

And for the record, I still maintain two S-VHS machines for retrieving old archived stand up comedy and vintage sci-fi...the stuff they will never, ever release on SD-DVD.

but seriously guys get rid of your vhs please. It is time to say goodbye.

Trust me, when you have a 4 y.o. boy who loves to watch movies in his room a lot, you want to hang on to your old VHS movies for as long as you can.

Yea, but you have to admit that it makes a great Clock for your rack of other A/V equipment.

Sure, but only qualified engineers can set the time on them, which is normally why they flash 12:00. Time to upgrade to a better clock for your rack. I prefer the Scientific Atlanta 8300HD DVR, because it mysteriously sets the time accurately all by itself!

i hope by the time i have a four year old child, armageddon will have already taken place.

Because I'm a movie lover I was planning on getting a blu-ray player during the war. I jumped on HD-DVD first because of the price.

Anyways I would get
Spiderman trilogy
Resident Evil trilogy
Rambo anthology
Crank
The Transporter
The Transporter 2
The Die Hard collection
Hollowman
Phone booth
Mr.Brooks
and many more

Well, I trully believe that our kids are waht we make of them, if we spoil them and do not give them proper boundaries according to their age and situations they'll grow up to be brats if we give them reasonable boundaries and teach them respect and treat them with respect they'll grow up respecting others and themselves.

Actually the VHS player on my rack sets the clock automatically.

I used to have one of those, it was a top-of-the-line VHS player. Ahhhh, good times, good times.

I still have/use my JVC SuperVHS/VHS player... timer-recording news/documentary programs (to watch later) the old fashioned way!

Been wondering if anyone knows of a forthcoming VHS player with built-in ATSC digital tuner? Otherwise, my unit's NTSC tuner won't be functional after the 2/17/2009 transition to DTV signals. So, I'll probably be forced into a TiVo-type device.
