such as?
with DVD players below 50 dollars there is very little incentive to fork out 300 for a blue ray to watch the same garbage.
What is out there?
Anti-amerirca themed movies?
Just look at what bombed at the box office recently.
The content is just not there.

What is out there? Anti-amerirca themed movies? The first blu ray disc I bought after getting the PS3 was a BBC production called "Planet Earth".The word "stunning" doesn't even begin to describe it.Soon,I'll be getting a National Geographic disc about the Serengeti.
There's a lot more than just anti-American films out there.

Now all the talk is special effects. To my thinking it is just a bunch of cartoons.

VCRs were pretty cheap at the time. That's just how the next generation works. I remember when a 42" flat screen cost over $20,000, and now they're under $900.

The content is just not there. You're right. I would prefer to watch concerts on BD but even the available music is mostly not my type.
BD is really just for larger screen TV's. I don't think there is a detectable difference on a less than 40" screen.

Just from recent movies, I'm looking forward to the disc releases of The Bucket List, Iron Man, Harold & Kumar 2, and There Will Be Blood. Then there are some older movies, like Payback, Down Periscope, Pulp Fiction, Batman Begins, The Negotiator, and Jackie Brown. Then you've got TV show season compilations, like House M.D., The Shield, the billions of CSI/Law & Order variants, Cold Case, Without A Trace, John Adams, and more.
Frankly, Blu-Ray is necessary just to be able to fit HD versions of TV seasons onto a reasonable amount of discs.
