Are you the only one who's BLU?

[mozen_1ne]

are you the only person you know who's has made the transition to blu ray/ hi def? all my family and friends are still watching analog tv's and sd dvd's. their reasons for not making the jump....

it's too expensive...waiting for prices to come down
they don't think the technology will survive just like hd dvd
not impressed by the pq...doesn't look any better than dvd
don't know enough about it


i give up trying to get them to go BLU.

Among my friends, a higher percentage of those in their 20s and 30s have gone blu. Having a PS3 made it easy for them to check it out. Many of my older friends are still groovin' on their 27" tube TVs and dvd players...

Yup, just me. Mom n Pop... forget it. Two brothers still using VHS and DVD as their movie playing formats. they just switched over from shadow puppet theater on the walls as their major form of entertainment, so i should feel fortunate.

This sucks as I can't buy them blus for birthday n Christmas. I'll look on ebay for the Star Wars hand puppet pack this Christmas.

My first ever HDTV was about 6 6 yrs ago...mitsubishi diamond series...huge 1080I crt mammoth but had a phenomenal picture. So shortly after seeing my tv and watching Discovery and INHD channel, My uncle in law, father and law, parents and one brother all went HD within a year...Blu Ray...not gonna happen for a while lol

Yep I'm the only one around who has made it to Blu. Then again I don't know that many people so I'm probably not representative.

At first I was... now 3 friends are Blu as well - with another looking at starting.

I'm not alone; my parents are already adapting to this Blu-Generation ever since I got my PS3.

I am the only person besides my brother (who still buys his stuff from a BB store and has monorpcie cables , and thus I do know if I should include him). It amazes me how many friends, co-workers, family members still use SD TV sets with basic DVD players and no kind of HTiB either! They are all so far behind the curve that I have given up hope on them. Thank God there is this sight, it keeps me "sharp" and from going into some kind of twilight zone when I visit their homes.

i gave up on trying to school my family and friends. i even tried to get them to join this site to get more insight into the technology but it's all for not, yet when they come to my house and see for themselves they're awestruck by the pq/aq.
