dew912 · 01-16-2008, 12:05 PM

im stoked, finally pulled the trigger and got a 80g ps3 directly from sony. by the way, they give you 100$ off if you open a sony card, so i got it for 400, free shipping. awaiting my 5 free in the mail, i was wondering what you guys would recommend as the first title in the blu-ray collection.
Thanks!

You can't go wrong with any of these

DefTechPioElite · 01-16-2008, 01:32 PM

300, or Pirates: At World's End. The third Pirates movie is the first BD I watched that had a scene that I thought "Popped" off my T.V. It blew my mind. If you like animated movies, pretty much any Pixar BD, or Meet The Robinsons, really ANY Buena Vista release.

tqmilymi · 01-16-2008, 01:52 PM

Apocalypto is fantastic and was my first.

Wild Hogs was my first movie because I thought it was a good movie.

MacDaddyOJack · 01-16-2008, 01:58 PM

Shoot 'Em Up was great if you are into mindless action flicks, and Live Free or Die Hard was wonderful too. Still pretty much a mindless action flick, but not nearly as ridiculous as Shoot 'Em Up!

kiskiboy97 · 01-16-2008, 02:04 PM

Black Hawk Down

WimeTime · 01-16-2008, 02:08 PM

300/Departed/AnyPixar.

pbnbcr · 01-16-2008, 02:34 PM

Casino Royale and Apocalypto both look excellent. Any Disney/Pixar animation is also superb. Personally, one of my favorites is 3:10 to Yuma - excellent pq and aq. I also liked The Day After Tomorrow, but really it's what you like that will matter. Check out the reviews here to see how pq and aq rate and that will also help you decide, I think.

Welcome!!

GoBlu08 · 01-16-2008, 02:50 PM

Man I would go right out to get Bladerunner. Also pick up The shining, cars, planet earth, the rock, con air, all the harry potter movies.

mritch7 · 01-16-2008, 02:56 PM

Casino Royale was my first ...then i bought 300, shooter (hard to find), live free or die hard ..and also The Day After Tommorrow is very visually pleasing

Thertel88 · 01-16-2008, 03:03 PM
