Should I double dip on these?

[MikeCL]

My DVD collection was rather small to start with..

the titles include:

Air force one
die hard 1 & 2
The Matrix
Pirates of the Caribbean

I have a few more but not titles I would watch again (can't remember the names anyways right now)

Yes, double dip on them all! Take out your wallet and order/buy them NOW!

I for one haven't regretted upgrading The Matrix Trilogy and Pirates 1-3 to Blu-ray. The first Matrix in particular is a major upgrade over the original DVD transfer.

+1. Same here.

I double dipped on AIR FORCE ONE and THE MATRIX. I paid $15 for The MATRIX and AIR FORCE ONE was free with my Sony points. Well worth the upgrade.

I picked up my first blu-ray movie last night which is hostage with Bruce Willis. I forgot all about the Matrix Trilogy.. I can't wait to add more to the collection.

All of them.

And IMO, it really isn't a double dip when you're buying it for a different format.

[MikeCL]

haha you do have a point with that.

I was thinking about getting Blus for Independence Day and the Die Hard Trilogy but I cant seem to find ones with the same bonus materials from the 5 star series - are they out of print or never done ?

Yes, exactly. I have even double dipped Blu's because of an upgraded audio format. As an example: The last Samuari, American version DD 5.1, Korean version TrueHD 5.1

Speaking of upgraded audio.. my sound system is a logitech Z-680 I got some years ago it supports DD and DTS but what would I be missing out on DTS-MA?

It all depends on the person. Most people would not notice any difference, my wife, all my neighbors, etc., etc. but for me, it is a must have. That is why I upgrade all the time and my wife and neighbors would never think of upgrading.

well the thing is it's in my bed room and if I upgrade as far as I know no computer surround speakers have DTS-HD MA so I would have to get full blown speakers and a receiver and all that in a already cramped room

Yes, they are all great improvements when compared to their DVD counterparts.

Honestly, I haven't found a single film that I have regretted upgrading from DVD to Blu-Ray. They have all been a huge upgrade from DVD. You won't regret doing it. If these are some of your favorite movies then go ahead and get the best quality out there.

[MikeCL]

Thank's I can't wait to add them to my collection

28 Days Later. Somehow the digital noise is much more distracting on Blu-ray than it was on DVD, and the increase in clarity is minuscule. (I'm aware that it's an accurate representation of what the director/cinematographer wanted)

Still, I can't complain too much as I picked up the double pack and 28 Weeks actually looks much nicer than it did on DVD.

Ohh I thought of another one but I liked it enough anyways is Minority report.. sadly I heard so much talk about The Dark night but I never saw it but I hear it's very good on blu-ray
