Buying the blu-ray version when you already have the DVD...

[Johnny B. Galt]

I only recently purchased a blu-ray player. Yep, I went hard into HD-DVD a couple years ago and still wince at the thought of it. Anyway, I've not purchased any BR movies as I'm waiting until my new setup is complete. However, I noticed Deep Discount DvD had a bunch of Warner titles as buy-one-get-one. I've never seen North by Northwest, so I think that may be my first...

One word bro... OUCH!!!!!! I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed but even I stayed out of that one till the fight was over and the referee raised a hand.... I feel for ya though. On the question of the OP. I've not bought a single BR disk yet. I've RENTED nothing else but BR but as far as purchase is concerned nah.... I'll let someone else do that.

North by Northwest got a great restoral and encoding that makes it look pretty darn good - the best I have seen it since viewing it at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood. That is a good start.

You should have been around here when the Blu/HD DVD war was going in full blast. I would have warned you against investing in HD DVD because many of us knew which direction the war was going before the public knew. I bought four HD DVD players and still use them to play DVD's. I got rid of all my HD DVD movies just before Warner made their announcement, so I got top dollar for my discs, and actually made a little profit.
