Anyone know where I can acquire a Blu-ray store demo disc... - Blu-ray Forum

badchannels · 09-10-2007, 07:28 PM

Just curious. I would love to own a blu ray instore demo disc, such as the one you see at Best Buy.

You can check eBay. There is also a short Spiderman Blu-Ray promo disc out there.

Why not just get a well-known movie with great PQ/SQ and show that?

You can get one from me.

The OP is talking about this:

I have mentioned before that most players, like the Sony S300, can handle simul-cast output to a regular TV.

Push a smaller SD TV nearby and connect it. Not only will the resolution difference be apparent, but so will the color and sharpness, etc.

I'm willing to buy one through paypal for $20.

I am also looking for something like this, after my wife commited blasphemy and stated "I honestly can't tell the difference between Blu-Ray and DVD". One of these discs is what I am looking for.

You know what, I'll Paypal one for $20 too.

Anyone know where I can find one? I've checked ebay, the closest thing I can find there is an audio demo disc.

I'm looking for something that I can use at the house to show family and friends the difference between SD and Blu Ray HD.

I have a few, as well as a CD from the BDA with a bunch of graphics and marketing stuff on it...there was a thread in here a few months ago about it, and how to acquire them for the great price of $0

She needs to go to an eye doctor! seriously! There hasnt been one girl out there that havent seen a bluray movie playing on my 1080P TV and not got WOW!!!! My wife, my buddy's wife, and even my 52 yr old mother's jaws dropped....How could she say that ""I honestly can't tell the difference between Blu-Ray and DVD"

I think I have been stabbed multiple times by reading this statement again...OUCH!!! It really hurts!!!

Well, one, I have a 1080i TV for the moment. Want a 1080p TV, brought that up to her, which is what prompted the "I can't tell the difference, we don't need a new TV" comment.

Would having everything set at 720p make an impact? Could it be that upscaling DVDs to 720p and then playing Blu-Rays at 720p also causes this lack of noticeability?

I'm stuck in the circular point of:
Having a 1080p TV would show the difference, but
Can't get a 1080p TV because she can't tell the difference, but
If we had a 1080p TV, I could show her the difference, but
She doesn't think there is a difference, so no 1080p TV. Plus, the 27" is "big enough"

I'm saving up enough to both buy a 1080p TV (a 40" or something so that it isn't "too big" for her tastes) and to afford another place to sleep should the revealing of the new TV not go well......

msallaq · 09-11-2007, 05:11 PM

i saw one on ebay 3 weeks ago for $90

ruvic2007 · 09-11-2007, 05:14 PM

IMHO.. 27" is too small to enjoy HD and too small to see the difference compared to SD. For a 40" .. 720p is good enough. 1080p will highly be noticeable for sets 50" or higher and provided that you sit close enough to really see the difference.

she'll hopefully warm up to it, give it some time, i know mine took some working on. just be patient and persistant, if you can do both, you'll have a new tv sooner than later. she'll be able to notice the difference, but you've got to get the tv first and then show her.

she'll keep claim she can't tell the difference until you plop her ass in front of one and show her regular cable and then hd cable and then show her 1080p BDM.
