Now That You've Gone Blu, What Kinds of DVDs Will You Still Buy?

In our case the only DVDs we might want to buy are kid's movies, exercise (e.g. Yoga) videos, or the occasional documentary. Few and far between really.

Sussudio · 07-15-2009, 05:29 PM

some tv shows. that's it.

P@t_Mtl · 07-15-2009, 05:33 PM

Some older TV shows, anime or kung fu movies not or not very likely to be on BD

Hammie · 07-15-2009, 05:34 PM

Only things that my family or I REALLY want that are not available on Blu-ray yet.

Therefore, I did not post. But if I did, I guess Kids DVD's would be the closest.

Blu-Benny · 07-15-2009, 05:36 PM

tv shows, not too many more dvd's for me either.

Moefiz · 07-15-2009, 05:36 PM

Mostly kids DVDS and a few horror thats not out on Blu as yet

Chordata · 07-15-2009, 05:39 PM

This has been done to death.

My answer is still "none."

fatediesel · 07-15-2009, 05:40 PM

Only TV shows that aren't out on Blu-ray.

Owned a player since about August 2007. The only DVD I have bought was Disney's "The Black Hole" because there was no telling how long I would have to wait for that on blu-ray. Perhaps never. As for anything else... <folds arms> I waited 14 months for Transformers I can wait for anything.

I dont buy regular DVD's anymore at all. I just kept the ones I really liked that weren't on Blu yet. Team America, Borat, Juice, Pulp Fiction (not in USA yet), Idiocracy, Star Wars....so on. But you had best believe as soon as those same titles become available in hi-def, they're as good as traded in.

mikejet · 07-15-2009, 05:40 PM

Not sure. Most of the catalog titles I want are coming out on Blu and I don't have kids yet. I figure when I do then I will probably save money by buying some of thier movies on DVD.

MaCruz · 07-15-2009, 05:44 PM

I'm not buying anymore DVD's unless there's something I can't find on BD.

PH3AR · 07-15-2009, 05:46 PM

My last DVD purchase was Howard the Duck, and thats it i dont buy them anymore i bought it cuz i know if it took so long to get to DVD its gonna take forever for a blu release

Batman1980 · 07-15-2009, 05:48 PM

TV shows that's it, other than UMDs my entire movie collection is now blu-rays.

I still buy movies on DVD if they are rare, because I think it'll be a long, long time before they come to Blu-ray. I don't think films like Detour or Let's Scare Jessica to Death are going to go Blu soon, if ever.

I also buy animated cartoons, like Looney Tunes, Popeye, and Tom & Jerry, on DVD. Warners took their sweet time getting those on DVD. I'm willing to bet they'll take their time bringing them to Blu-ray, too.

Teabaggins · 07-15-2009, 06:34 PM

the $5 and under kind that I don't really care about but I'm buying because the cable is out...or something

Icedburden · 07-15-2009, 06:41 PM

Maybe Kung-Fu or TV shows. That is it, the difference in AQ/PQ actually annoys me now. Make Seinfeld on Blu already!!!

supersix4 · 07-15-2009, 06:50 PM

should have put tv shows.

brettallica · 07-15-2009, 09:47 PM

A DVD for the kids is the only type of DVD I'll buy nowadays; I will not buy any adult movie in DVD. I did buy Beavis & Butthead Do America a few months ago on DVD, though. I was able to get it for about $10 shipped (new in package) off eBay, and I didn't foresee that one coming to Blu so I just bought it.
