Do you plan to buy a Blu-ray DVD player?

Ya know, I'm not all that familiar with Blue ray dvd players or the whole technology behind them! I see more and more of the disks at my local Blockbuster. How are they better than dvds??

And, like any new tech... I'll wait and see if it sticks around!

I use my playstation 3 to play blu-ray movies for now, I'll most likely purchase an actual blu-ray movie player in the near future. But for now my PS3 will be sufficient enough.

Yes people having playstation 3 have blueray disc as it is a propitiatory technology of Sony. XBOX people have HD-DVD player & there is a conflict b/w these 2 new formats which are to be successors of of DVD. many movies are now published in Blueray format making it more sought.

I dunno if the price of HD-DVD player is less as Toshiba slashed the price of it's new HD-DVD player...

No, I wouldn't IMO it's just another "gimic" to make money. Same as Windows Vista. I mean, really, who needs all those bells and whistels? Especially if it means replacing almost a whole PC, simply cause my Socket 478 PIV with 2GB Ram & Geforce 7900 isn't going to take the upgrades for a faster CPU & GPU?

When the day comes that I can't purchase / rent a normal DVD anymore, then the prices of blueray would have dropped to a fair price. Strangly enough, VHS are still widely available as well....

I agree lol. I am going to be cheap. I would rather spend my moeny on the Internet for domains etc. When they come down, I will buy. I don't feel the need to have one really.
