“I have a PlayStation 3 (integrated Blu Ray player and Game Console)”

I renamed mine “Warhawk Disc Player” since that’s the only thing I play on that console. I’ve heard about all of the other features, but I cannot get away from Warhawk.

Somebody help me ;-)!!!!

In all seriousness, I don’t re-buy movies I have on DVD (except for Master and Commander), but I will never buy another DVD again....BluRay is going to be for those “big movies” (like the new Star Trek coming out next year assuming it is good) ... otherwise I am just going to download them since DVD quality is usually good enough for me.

Some movies like “Cloverfield” on BluRay have the neatest features...like you can watch where the monster is in NYC on a scanner while the movie is playing.

I doubt BluRay is going to die. To get true HD quality to a home, you need some significant bandwidth. If you don’t mind waiting for a download, this isn’t a big problem. I just think people are spoiled with stuff like “On Demand”....while you can get HD On-Demand, it still doesn’t look/sound as “pretty”.

Having said all of that, the majority of consumers really could care less about these things @ this time :-)!

I agree. The special features are the best part.

Iron Man comes with the trivia gave on BD Live but Paramount said that a game where one can get into the Iron Man suits and fly around shooting things, is in development and will be downloaded by BD Live.

The reviews I read of Master and Commander on Blu-ray said it was no better than the standard DVD. I loved that film, BTW, and read all the novels. I thought its appearance on Blu-ray might sell me on the format, but I'm apparently in good shape with that film on DVD.
