Will you be tempted in five or ten years when a new improved platform arrives? I just feel that maybe they have it in mind and realize that certain folks have to have the new and improved gadget of the moment.

    How much further will it go? Will we be viewing a movie one day where you won't be able to determine if you're inside the movie or outside and aware that you're in your seat watching it? My minds eye forecasting this future sees it a little like this. That would be trippy. Won't need acid and shrooms no more.
    theres no need for blu ray, its an extravagence really, you get a better viewing experience on the whole, but the dvd version is fine if its stilla good movie.
    though i am totally sure blu-ray is the last analogue format, 5 years time we will download all our tv shows and movies.

    I just got my dvd. Wish it had more on it, or was a little bloodier, but still good.

    Upgrade only if it is convenient for you.

    I got I believe it was a Toshiba Blu-Ray player from Best Buy and took it back because it didn't perform as well as I expected, and that was only its online abilities. It did Youtube and Netflix, but Youtube was limited and hard to manage and search. Netflix sucks because most of their streaming movies were crap b-movies like Far Cry or older than dirt releases. There were no real Warner Brother releases for streaming, not even the 1989 Batman movie!

    I cancelled my free trial a week early and should never have joined after learning the first time that their service sucks when I signed up with them years ago and cancelled then when they started throttling mail dvds.

    So after taking the Blu-Ray back, I picked up a PS3 instead and got all of that, such as Youtube, Netflix ready not that I would use it now, and the ability to play PS3 games for like $70 more dollars.

    As for the Zombieland Blu-Ray? I wanted to get it, but the morons at Best Buy never know their @$$ from a hole in the ground. They advertised both the dvd and Blu-Ray as Best Buy exclusives with added bonus along with a general release.

    They were out of the Blu-Ray version at both stores I went to, but the second store had the 2-disc dvd exclusive.

    After researching, I found the $15 single disc dvd had all but two Blu-Ray exclusive special features which would have been $25 for the 2-disc regular Blu-Ray version. The 2-disc dvd exclusive had an additional two exclusive special features in which the Blu-Ray exclusive probably would have had as well, and this was $23.

    I figured instead of worrying about 2 to 4 additional special features I would save some money and get the single dvd version for $15 instead.

    I think it is only worth it if the dvd version was like Warner Brothers movies and had NO special features, basically forcing you to get the Blu-Ray version.

    Personally I sure hope not! Yes it is awesome and convenient to be able to download stuff, but I feel I am some what of a collector and having a physical copy of the disc is much better than a bunch of 0s and 1s on a computer, not to mention artwork and the like.

    Besides that, there are other formats in the works or completed and just waiting to be released, such as the HVD, the Holographic Versatile Disc which holds like 10tbs! (That is 10 TERABYTES!!!)
