I hate buyray..The rep at Beat Buy put on James Bond in Blue RAY on the best big screen..the background was so clear and crisp and artificial looking it was distracting from the main action..Best Buy rep. said people either like or hate Blue Ray. I’m in the hate category

Agreed. Anyone who says blu-ray is “only slightly better” has never seen a good blu-ray transfer on a good HDTV or is just still mad that HD-DVD lost the format war. By the way, it’s not 5 times better than standard DVD. It’s 6.75 times better.

blu-ray (1080p): 1920 x 1080 = 2,073,600 pixels
DVD (480i): 640 x 480 = 307,200 pixels

Slight difference. Saying that it’s only “slightly better” is roughly equivalent to saying a modern WUXGA monitor (widescreen, 1920x1200) is only “sligtly better” than a VGA monitor (4:3, 640x480.)

Also, blu-ray players aren’t THAT expensive anymore. I got mine for $4.50 (yes, four dollars and fifty cents) with the purchase of my TV. Even without a combo deal, you can still get them south of $200. DVD players were more expensive than that for quite a while.

Anyone who says blu ray is only *slightly better* hasn't seen good blu ray. If you don't have an HDTV with the blu ray player then it isn't doing anything at all (literally). Also, you need an HDMI cord to get the full effect, but the full effect is definitely better. No doubt that the sound and picture is better, even on your standard dvd. And to Jake, the fact that blu ray was made "to purposely make dvd's look bad"? That would mean that blu rays were made 'to look better than dvd's.' well I certainly hope so.

The Dark Knight Soundtrack “Pre-order online Now”

The package is crazy, with a stupid price! “only $39.99” I had to put my order in.

The new package contains 50 additional minutes of unreleased music from the movie, and 4 unreleased remixes by The Crystal Method, Paul Van Dyk, and others, as well as a 40 page book of stills from the motion picture! Limited quantities are being made (I think about 9,000 worldwide)

To all the little kiddies saying they will never buy Blu Ray, stop acting like you can even afford it, and buy affording it I mean having to save multiple checks to do so. Its better quality hands down, maybe you were unable to see it to the fullest without an HDTV I can see how you were fooled. I myself cannot wait to see Heathes Joker in high Def, I was disappointed that there arent any features that delve deeper into the Jokers Psychi. Would be very much interesting to see but oh well CANT WAIT!

Tim,
I absolutely agree with you about the blu-ray being 5x better then DVD. Especially for movies just like this one. The picture quality is so much better and the surround sound will sound so good. Anyone that says blu-ray is just alittle better has either never seen blu-ray or has watched it on the wrong T.V.
