blind to hd

[hayzink]

i have this mate who i had up tonight who swears blind he cant see the difference between blu ray and upscaled dvd.

now im running a ps3 on a full 1080p pannel and i did a direct comparison between pirates 3 on blu running on ps3 and pirates 3 dvd upscaled on 360.

now i could blatantly see the differences in the 2 but he couldnt and continued to insist blu was a waste of money.

do any of you have friends like this who you just cant convert

Perhaps you should grab pictures of upscaled DVD and put it next to the exact same picture on Hi-Def. If your friend cannot see the difference:

(a) they needs to see an optometrist
(b) quit lying and stop being stubborn
(c) take off the coke-bottle glasses that are not helping their vision

i would seriously tell him to get an eye exam....no one really talks about how important perfect vision is to get the full effect of hd....if you get used to having bad vision, you dont think twice about it.....until you walk out of the lens store with new contacts in and start laughing about how cool it is that you can read signs a mile away...a few of my friends had this problem....i sat them down and slapped them around...they now own ps3s

Considering that the 360 is not even a good upscaler that is rather sad.

That is fairly amazing, but I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

If he keeps jawing about Blu-ray being a waste of money though you might have to smack him one.

My Uncle says he can't see the difference either and made a huge fuss, but he loved 7.1 Lossless audio. So there you go. Blu-ray is not just about resolution.

Yeah I have a friend just like it, who just happens to be an ms fanboy.

The way I showed him was some pictures of spidey 3 side by side.
