The raging debate on Blu-ray. I'm still going to say its a waste of money until they start lowering the prices. I still can't see how this format is going to survive long haul until they do that.  BUT that being said I would recommend all Lost fans who want this on Blu-ray to wait until the series is done then they'll release the complete series on blu-ray just like Battlestar Galatica is this summer. 

I agree with you Hobbs.  You know they are going to release the "Definitive Edition" once the series is over.  You are better off just waiting for that and all the extras that will include.

I will be buying Spaceballs on Blu-Ray.  One of my all time favorite Comedies.  Ludicrous Speed, GO!

Hobbs, I agree.  With a long show like this, the combined series on blu-ray would be the way to go.  I personally have bought the separate seasons on regular dvd's so I can share them with family and friends that don't have blu-ray players yet.

I am buying movies on blu-ray though.  Amazon has a lot of older, and some newer blu-rays for great prices.  And they look SO much better than regular dvd's.  It's totally worth it.

I'm still not sold on the whole Blu-Ray tech.  I mean the players are too expensive and the movies and tv shows themselves are WAY too high.  I just don't see Blu-Ray catching on "long-term."  I hate that it'll go this way, but I think that we're moving closer to just having nothing but downloaded content.  Anyway, upconverted dvd looks pretty darn good to me and I haven't seen enough from Blu-Ray to sway me.

Also, this column lists the credits for American Gangster as Armand Assante, Josh Brolin, Kevin Corrigan, and Russell Crowe.  WTF?  Armand Assante and Kevin Corrigan are basically little more than cameos.  And, Where's Denzel?  The only credits you need to list for this film are Denzel Washington, Russell Crowe and Driector, Ridley Scott.  The alone shows how badass this film is if you haven't seen it.  I still think if this film would have been released a month or month and a half later that it would have OWNED the Oscars that year.  The Academy really doesn't give much attention to films released before November (granted there are exceptions, but they are few).

I kind of agree with you redairs...I think blu-ray would boom if they lowered the prices to regular DVD prices.  Then I would make the upgrade because it would be replacing an old technology.  If they don't do that then I can't see how they will survive especially in this economic climate. Does it really cost the studios that much more money to make a blu-ray vs. regular DVD?  Does anyone know?

I'm not sold on the whole download thing...I like it for "hanso" movies that we would not otherwise pay to see but I wouldn't like it to replace my DVD's.

Hobbs, I'm not trying to advocate that Hollywood more to a non-physical medium.  Personally, I want something tangible if I'm shelling out $15 or more per movie.  I just think that's where things are heading.

I gotta say, I have been a collector of dvd's since they first came out and have over 2700 movies, but I am now hooked on Blu-ray. I have about 200 Blu-ray so far. It is so much better than regular dvd's, truly. And anyone who is thinking about buying blu-ray, I say go with the PS3. It is the best deal. A game system and a blu-ray player. That is win win. I also just picked up a LED TV, and holy shit, it really makes the blu-ray pop. It is so choice, if you have the means, I reccemond picking one up.
