Will be getting the Blu-ray first day purchase.

re: Bouncy X The single disc edition DVD may not have too much extra, But...Get the 2-disc special edition of the film. Then You'll have a good amount of special features.

It's becoming a self-fulfilling prophesy. Studios ratcheting their Blu-Ray content at the expense of DVDs; saying that DVD sales are down. But by doing that, I won't be buying as many new DVDs since the extras are very poor and in this case - squat. Right now the Blu owns... lets say maybe 25% of the market; the real, actual money being generated is in DVDs sales.

Will I jump to Blu? Probably not, but my reason isn't just about anger, it's also about time. The DVD format was introduced in 1998. Blu-Rays came on the scene in 2006 - less than a decade. I don't want to invest into a format that isn't long term. I expect a new 'thing', sure, but I want a library. I want it NOT to be obsolete after a short time.

I see it as studios wanting us to continuously re-buy their movies, never getting an actual library, which is what happened to the music industry; people upgraded their LPs to CDs, then bought less new titles - since most of it is c**p.

Three more years and a newer 'better' format will be introduced as the norm, 'you're not experiencing movies unless you watch it in...'. This could be the 3D presentation, maybe. Man, I feel sorry for all those guys/gals who bought the 3D glasses system, the new screens will be glasses free. Buy and re-buy.

My collection before DVDs was not on VHS, but laser disc. Should be noted that both formats lasted twenty years. It is that 'time' that made it safe to create a library. I didn't get burned with my LDs. It was a proper time to jump to a new format. A format that didn't require you to buy new equipment to enjoy it, but that's another rant.

I have no surface problems with other formats. But what I expect is the same content that isn't native to that architecture carry over. Blu-Ray is go great - let it stand on its own merits; hype the advantages - picture in picture commentary, movieIQ, Maximum Move Mode, Cinechat, BDLive, iPhone apps and connection to social networks. Just leave the commentaries, featurettes, bloopers, trailers, documentaries and galleries the same. Look, if Blu is truly king, then people will flock to it, a natural upgrade. It would be so obvious, little prodding would be required, such as the transition from VHS to DVD.

Lets make something very clear. Whatever that next format will be, DVDs won't carry over. It will probably play Blu-Ray discs. Buy and re-buy.

I have a library and probably by mid next month I'll hit 1,400 titles. Very cool. I just don't see myself owning movies in this format and that format and that format too. Which is why I don't purchase those combo sets.

This whole thing isn't about servicing the consumer needs, but studios wanting us to service them. And frankly, I don't want to play that game.

So I won't be buying "Emerald Knights", suits, you lost my greenbacks.

*nods*

The trend is now to make available both the blu-ray & the dvd available in a combo package. So it is now up to potential buyers to make that big decision!
