Question Of The Day - Saturday, April 16th

Good morning!

Sorry this is so late today. I had to shovel. We got 6 inches of snow last night

Here's the question.

DVD or Blue Ray?

I'm a DVD guy. By the time Blue Ray came out, I had an extensive DVD collection and I'm not going to spend thousands of dollars to replace them just for a slightly higher quality.

DVD. I still have VHS tapes! I'm not interested in a Blu-Ray. I can't keep buying stuff after every new thing comes out. I don't feel the need to have the latest and greatest.

I also have a DVD player. I heard tho that if you should invest in a Blue Ray you can also play your DVD disks on them so your collection will still work out.

I have VHS tapes too and two VCR's and I use them both

I haven't bought a blue ray player yet, mainly because of the cost. I also have a pretty small TV, not even HD, so I wouldn't see any improvement in quality over the standard player. I may buy a new player before long because I want to get one that I can use to stream Netflix movies onto my TV. If I do that, I'll probably upgrade to Blue Ray just so that I'll have the capability when I upgrade my TV.

I used my VCR until just 2 days ago, when it died and ate one of my favorite movies. There isn't a store that sells VCRs anymore as far as I know, so I'll do what I did last time- ask my friend who works in construction if anyone who's moving out of their house has a VCR they don't want and will give him for free.

DVD here, too. Plus 100s of vhs tapes, and I used the vcr Thursday night to tape something.
Should I be embarrassed that we still have some beta tapes and CED disks? (and I'll bet most of you have to google CED )

& same feelings here....

Well I just play blu ray on my ps3, and I've never collected movies, so replacing a collection has not been an issue. I think I own about 2 or 3 DVD's total I just rent them from red box or stream from netflix and hulu. So I prefer blu ray, because of the quality- a regular DVD doesn't look great on a nice big LCD TV.

Neither? My Mum has a DVD player that I use when I rent DVD's but I don't own any.

Six inches of snow???? Dear lord, I'd be in tears!

VHR in the living room, although we don't use it anymore. I can't remember when the last time was we used it.

DVD player in the bedroom. One of my co-workers keeps me in DVDs of various tv shows, so I never lack for anything to watch while exercising. Right now, though, I'm re-watching Moonlight.

If we want to rent movies, most often we just go to OnDemand on the living room tv. We don't rent that often, so it works for us.

oh my goodness. i simply thought the latter was "the successor" to dvd but "still dvd"

i guess my answer is dvd!
