A question for all the early PS3 buyers - Blu-ray Forum

Tanman19az · 12-28-2007, 07:56 AM

Heres a question to all the people who bought one of the first PS3s available in the US: Do you still have the Talladega Nights blu-ray or is it worth it to buy the real blu-ray release of the movie?

don't bother with it in high def. i own it on dvd, but also rented the separate release version and it wasn't an improvement to warrant a purchase. kind of like superbad's difference. it is there, but u don't notice it. i know the one that came with the ps3 is considered to be worse than that one, so take this for what its worth

I actually bought it in a store (it was the version that came with the PS3) funny thing is on the back cover it says "For promotional use only. Not for rent or sale." it's pretty good in my opinion, I heard the actual Blu-ray of this movie has bonus material that this one doesn't... ultimately it comes to did you like the movie? it's really your choice, but I'm happy with my purchase

Ive seen both versions and I like the one that came with the PS3.

If you are considering a purchase of 'Talladega Nights' on any format whatsoever, I'd recommend just getting the DVD. The Blu-ray doesn't offer much clarity over the upscaled DVD. Remember that this title was probably one of the first the was replicated on the format. And some of releases from that first 3 months were REALLY bad transfers. This, in my opinion, was one of them.

its true you won't see a huge difference , but if you got the cash why not lash out and grab it on blu ray.
