Blu-Ray Obsession? - Blu-ray Forum

haushausman · 03-15-2007, 10:06 PM

Is there anyone else out there that has an unhealthy obsession with Blu-Ray? Symptoms include: Checking this site multiple times daily, buying BD movies with every penny available, looking for any deal on a BD movie on eBay (even if you don't like the movie that much), an extremey strong hatred towards HD-DVD, feeling like a boy before Christmas when you here an upcoming title being released on BD, and any other feelings that you never came close to with DVD.

I never thought I really had a problem until my g/f pointed it out.. but she'd watch a VHS and enjoy it just as much so what does she know.

That sounds like a disease I have. As far as diseases go, it's a pretty good one. Long live blu-ray!

Hello everybody, my name is Degas and I'm a Blu-ray addict.
It's been 24 minutes and 12 seconds since my last purchase...

DTMoney84 · 03-15-2007, 10:44 PM

I don't like to think of it as an obsession but more so as achieving an enlightened film state.

TBoneCapone · 03-15-2007, 10:49 PM

I too am a sick bastard who will now spend every available cent on blu-rays!

coolmilo · 03-15-2007, 11:10 PM

I am a card carrying obsessed member. The Sony demo of Open Season (in particular the waterfall scene) started my obsession for Blu-ray. The PQ was off the hook!!! I have not been the same since.

I must admit that last week was tough with no new releases. The Amazon sale did help though. I can only imagine how those HD-DUD fanboys must feel with no releases week after week. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Oh it's true...it's damned true.

dgator783 · 03-15-2007, 11:32 PM

WHen do the BRA (Blu Ray Anonymous) the meetings start? I have had no money since I got my PS3....I already looked on ebay for sales today like 100 times...and bid on most.....im waiting for my Superman Returns Blu Ray and getting very frustrated for every extra day I have to wait for it to come in the mail....I tried to limit myself to one new movie every paycheck but im been doing about 2-3 a week.....I should just start doing drugs, itll be damn cheaper......

JTK · 03-15-2007, 11:35 PM

^^ "BRA meetings."

I like that.

buckshot · 03-15-2007, 11:44 PM

I don't have a problem. I don't. everyone else has a problem. I visit this site so many times a day. I have a pda and a job that affords me the free time to search this site and others. I am new to the addiction, but am trying to catch up.

I almost bought the transporter and remembered that I hadn't seen it, and didn't like the idea of it.

my wife doesn't get it, ''why do we need to buy lady in the water and mission impossible again? we already have them.'' aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!

haushausman · 03-16-2007, 02:50 PM

I am glad I'm not the only one. Thanks for the support! BRA meetings will begin very soon.. I'll keep you posted

Together, we can beat this.

Oh well, there is the money thing... but there are worse things to spend your money on.

I've been infected - and not too long after I just just rid myself of the DVD bug. I was actually in the process of downsizing my movie collection before I got the Blu-Ray bug...

We'll see what happens and if I can (or want to) shake it. Thing is, I still believe that in 5-6 years all movies will be downloaded...much like the way the music industry has gone. Will my Blu-Rays be like my CD's I have stacked in the closet?

HDJK · 03-16-2007, 03:38 PM

You stacked all your CDs in your closet? Are you happy with MP3s? If convenience is more important to you, why did you go with blu-ray in the first place? I'm just curious

dgator783 · 03-16-2007, 03:45 PM

I already sold my cd collection since I backed it all to my Mp3 and hardrive...Cds are a thing of the past, most new car stereos have Mp3 hookups nowadays, who needs cds esp when u can download a full album for a few bucks if u choose to do it legally anyways. Screw the downloading of movies, thats no fun at all, the movie industry hoepfully will never take away the thrill of opening the shrink wrap of a new blu ray and hearing that beautiful sound of satisfaction when you first open the box to view that beauty of the disc.

Admitting you have a problem is the first step to ignoring it, and enjoying the results.

Narutoboy · 03-20-2007, 07:46 PM

Yea, I have a serious blu-ray problem, but I don't really care

Rivera213 · 03-20-2007, 07:55 PM

I can quit anytime i want too!!!!!!!!!!

Rup_Muk · 03-20-2007, 08:35 PM

No question I'm hooked. My symptoms include: visiting this site - sometimes, well past midnight, checking out BR sales rankings at Amazon, inspecting "HD wars" data at DVD Empire and eproductwars, flashing plastic at retailers, reading Chad's reviews at hometheaterspot.com - and after all that enjoying the wonderful PQ and SQ most BR disks provide!

Yes, I'm hooked. I can only imagine how badly withdrawal may hit

and no - I don't want to be changed... won't be attending any "BRA" meetings!
