Well.. I took the Samsung Blu-ray player plunge today. I was debating which HD format I was going to go with, and I have to admit it. The fact that all of the Disney Movies would be in the Blu-ray format played a huge part in my decision. I have a CRT NEC projector, and the kids will be watching a lot of movies with me. Also, I look at the movie studios that are backing this format, and it was pretty impressive.


I think that I liked the overall HD DVD picture quality better, and they definitely had a good share of movie titles, but I saw many of them in the Blu-ray aisle as well. So I decided to go with Blu-ray and just get Reg. DVD's for those titles that won't be in the Blu-ray format.


I don't know..., I hope that I made the right decision. I tried a couple of times to buy a HD DVD player, and I just couldn't get my wallet out of my pocket. The Blu-ray player was more expensive, but the bills slid out of my wallet very easily!


Total Cost $471.88

You made the right choice, the only choice. Congrats, and enjoy all that HD goodness.

HotAhr, welome to Blu.

The picture quality isn't format specific, but encode specific. Those titles you saw that are available on both formats, look the same on both. You'll be missing out on Univesal, but like you said, Disney...

It's easy to forget Universal when you are getting Sony, MGM, FOX, Lionsgate, and Disney in return. Don't worry though, Universal will soon see the light and join the Blu team.
