I currently have no Blu-ray movies but I recently bought a PS3 and knowing that it also acts as a blu-ray player I'm considering gradually making the switch to buying Blu-ray movies instead of standard DVDs. Just wondering if any of you guys have made the switch yet and if you feel Blu-ray movies are worth the upgrade. They seem to have gone down in price over the years. Target and Best Buy have a lot of Blu-ray movies for $15 or under, new and old.

We switched to Blu-Rays a few months ago and we won't ever buy another DVD unless we have to.

I'd only upgrade an existing movie you have if it relies heavily on visuals or special fx. And only then if its modern. Otherwise I wouldn't bother. From this point forward tho, I would only get Blu Ray.

If you don't have a decent surround sound system, I would advise upgrading that, also. Blu ray sound even with 5.1 surround sound will blow you away.

I only buy Blu-Ray for all my new movies and I've bought a few I have on DVD if they've been on sale

I made the switch about a year and half ago and want buy a DVD again unless there is something I am wanting that isn't released on Blu-ray (i.e. Documentary, locally released stuff)

Despite what some may tell you I quickly started doubling up and rebought almost all my DVDs on Blu-ray (with the eception of TV show sets, only had around 20 DVDs to begin with!) I also went and bought a lot of older movies that have been recently released on Blu-ray and they are outstanding.

I've got a couple boxes full of DVDs still packed away in the garage from when I moved 4 years ago. I realised I never rewatch them so I quite buying them. I have a bluray player that I mostly use for streaming Netflix and Pandora. I cut off the disc portion of Netflix so unless someone loans me a disc I rarely use that feature anymore.

I read where the head of the bluray division at Samsung said in 2009 that the bluray technology only had about 5 years left in it before digital storage and streaming dominates the market anyway.

I've done this with about 8 of my movies so far. I got 12 Blu rays now. I'm using the Best Buy deal they've got. Bring in any DVD (limit of 5 per day) and get a $5 credit towards any Blu ray movie at $9.99 or more.
