I am sorry, but that is a pretty crude thing to say. Yes it's true Blu-Ray movies is stuffed with as much unneeded extras and movie commercials/trailers as DVD, but for those of us who actually care about producing the highest quality work possible the more room we have the more we can push.
This also applies to hard-drive/SSD. The same goes with computing power. I'm cold and calculating. Don't press my buttons.

LOL. As soon as a 4GB DVD can give 1080p resolution, I might consider switching back...

Yeah your right.  Im just pissed I can't
1. afford one right now
2. can't decide if Blu-Ray is better than HD-DVD and
3. Get a TV that can work correctly with the crummy pice a junk i have. Im also crude right now cuz I really don't think older movies will get Blu-Ray rights. Then Blu-Ray will be outdated and replaced with Green-Ray or Purple-Ray or something.
After a while I think I really would like to see higher resolution Tron.

Isn't HD-DVD a dead format now? :P
I'd rather have a blu-ray personally because I already have a player and I like blu-ray's storage space.

Yeah, I think HD-DVD is dead. Not sure if they sell it anymore, because I haven't seen any of it being sold at stores anymore. Maybe they still sell it online???
I like the Bluray's storage space aswell. Hopefully one day I'll get Bluray, and it will be a reader/writer for a computer. That's a three-five year span from now though.on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill onlineorder abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

I believe that HD-DVD is dead, too. I have a Blu-Ray player... actually, I've got more than one. I think... 3 maybe 4? No, I did not buy that many, blame it on my parents.
I sure hope TRON comes out on Blu-Ray. It'll fix alot of the mess up's in the movie (not saying that it's filled with them), like how most of the Program's circutry is black in alot of scenes.

I actually like that effect, err or lack thereof. Adds to the Tron uniqueness and mystique. Makes Tron TRON. I just hope they make it less grainy somehow. Oh, and I hope they the digitally make Hayden Christianson's face be the evil MCP. They need to check with Lucas on how to effectively restore classic movies; he's a master.

Cylinder, there is quite a big difference in a standard dvd movie resolution that is usually only around 720x480 pixels. (Tron on DVD is a little higher but not much 853x480 I want to say but I'm not positive).
If you want to be notified of its pending release, here is the link:
http://www.amazon.com/Tron-Blu-ray/dp/B001AQT15I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1244010092&sr=8-1
Don't let lurkinghorrors useless commodities slander fool you. Bluray is full 1080 so you are talking 1920x1080 pixels. The extra level of detail is very substantial. The width is almost 3 times the dvd resolution and the height is more than doubled.
This is the one area that some people like lurkinghorror just don't understand I guess. But bluray is worth the upgrade, that's really all you need to know. Do some research on it and you'll be convinced, plus the prices are coming down all the time. Also, lurkinghorror still owns like 8 VCR's so he would not be a very good authority for bluray I'm afraid and he has a tendancy to have technical issues with much of his hardware like his DVD and VCR players. I also think he said he connects to the web with his old Commodore Vic-20, however, that is not confirmed. I do feel sad for his toaster however.

Let's not kid ourselves. Physical media is dying, and blu-ray is the studios last gasp to get people to purchase the same films for the 14th time.
I use a device called a Media Gate. I have a 7 terabyte raid that runs from my primary computer, and connects via an Ethernet cable I ran through my attic to connect to my router. The router has several other cables running into the attic and ending in each room of the house. These connect through my Media gate players. So every bit of information of those 7 terabytes is accessible from one source onto each television concurrently. Each television can be used to watch different programming independently. The devices work with avi. mp4, divx, iso, mp3, jpeg, ect... They also function as internet radio devices.
Furthermore, each one is capable of supporting a internal hard drive so I can transfer file via USB and take the data anywhere and play on any television.
I think you missed a memo on who is actually behind the times.
Do I have a garage filled with broken electronics? Yup. I'm pushing 40 and I was around for Beta versus VHS. I had a laserdisc player and I was around for the arrival of DVD players. I've learned my lesson. Buying into the latest hyped thing is a waste. Look to the future. For those who don't learn their history are doomed to repeat it.
Or you can spend that money. Then after a short time when the media is considered dead, you can spend it again. and again. And again...

I can get a bluray for under a hundred, so who cares about the negatives. What I want is a r/w. Haven't looked into them, and I have yet to fix my bigscreen, so I'm not in a hurry to pick one up with this economy.
Positives outweigh the negatives, and for those who have an outdated HD tv there's the HDFURY to give the old viewscreen a reboot.
anyway, on the topic of TRON... it needs to be enhanced somehow. Why not make it available in Blueray? What are you waiting for Disney?
I'd like to see the bonus material treated better also, some of it just looks horrible.
Sounds like you've got a heck of a media center there Lurking. |

It does the job. In my living room, it's hooked up through a high end projector with a 10 foot screen. When something comes along that's better than plasma (not that plasma is bad, but not quite my taste), I'll look to an upgrade.
As for the cost of the blu-ray players, that's a small concern. Re-purchasing and re-purchasing my media collection is another. I've paid for some movies 4 times already, not counting seeing them in the theaters. At this point, it makes more sense to wait for a more universal and adaptable media (digital) that doesn't require specific hardware (that may or may not remain available commercially).

I understand your point of view because I have chosen to do the same thing when it comes to media purchases, but that's technology (and current technology limitations in the licensing of films\media) as I agree, you should be able to purchase once and then have small fee upgrades for improved formats as technology invents them. But If you are addicted to it (technology), like many persons (myself included), it's the price you have to pay. You could say you aren't addicted to technology, but your super digital system says otherwise. Also, are you trying to say that you regret purchasing your super digital system when you mention that buying into the latest hyped thing is a waste? Isn't a super digital system such as yours a latest hyped thing? I'm reminded of Doc Holiday.  Your hypocracy goes only so far.
With a Bluray player people can still watch thier old dvd's and only upgrade the most favorite titles and new titles as they are released, and you can't tell me that you are satisified with Tron at 853x480 resolution, you can not say that without lying.
Bluray will most likely be your very first method of getting it in 1920x1080 resolution. Regardless of wether or not you then decide to rip it and throw it on your super digital system is irrelevant.
The fact is, you may be waiting a long long time to get that 1920x1080 Tron footage without Bluray (or ripped bluray media). If you can wait, that's great. Myself, I can't wait. I want to see this movie in all of it's glory on a home theatre system now (or next year as it is looking).
With Bluray players down to around $99, and the media less than $19 in some cases (i would pay more for Tron of course), it isn't a super costly expense to be able to view Tron in a fantastic resolution such as this. I think it's totally worth it, as do many others.
BTW, how are you going to get a higher resolution of Tron into your super digital system WITHOUT a purchase? Even if you do as you plan (skip over this physical media format which is only physical media for the 3 seconds it's on the bluray disc before you convert it), you will still eventually have to pay for a higher resolution copy of the film, no matter how you get it, as it will not be free at a higher resolution. Why? Because you are paying for the extra quality.
Bluray is an upgrade like any other (is it short lived?, probably). Your hard drive becomes obsolete, you replace it with a SSD instead, video card, CPU, etc. It all needs to be upgraded over time no matter what it is, because that is what technology is all about. Even your super digital system will need to be upgraded eventually (your raided hard drives are going to be smoked by raided SSD's in another year or 2). Technology = constant upgrades. I think you must have missed that memo.

A: Did I say I wasn't addicted to technology?
B: A 7 tb raid obviously doesn't fill itself up over night. And even though digital copies are increasing in popularity, the most popular and mass endorsed media type remains blu-ray. So that hardly meets your criteria for hypocrisy.
C: Maybe $150 for the setup and film isn't expensive in your world.
D: Remember, you brought my name up in a long dead discussion and attempted to suggest I'm living in the stone age. You have a preference? Fine. Great for you. It's rather obvious I am willing to wait. You're not. Okay. Why bring me into it now?
E: Did I say anything about circumventing a purchase? Nope. "Buy into" refers to "believing something wholeheartedly". Not a the literal act of purchasing. Furthermore, the follow up comment of "look to the future" clearly delineates a difference between faux modern and modern. Investing in future technologies is sound, provided they have a significant life span.
F: You call Blu-Ray an advancement. I disagree. It's stillborn.
G: You say my hard drive will be obsolete? How? Is it going to cease functioning simply because something faster in regards to non-relevant functions comes along? My access to my data is virtually instant. What difference will solid state media bring?
Technology = intelligent upgrades. Early adoption = /$$$.
That memo is more important. Just ask my friend that bought a 400$ HDDVD player.
