Holding off Blu-ray for a couple of months - Blu-ray Forum

tru_to_blu · 01-16-2008, 02:23 AM

I know, im sorry but I am going to hold off on buying Blu-rays for 2-3 months.
I just bought a DS lite with 2 games. Now I am saving my spending money on a Wii, and a slim PSP and some games like GTA IV. The reason why is because I want to save the PS3 for games untill my birthday. One reason is I want to wait until May and get a good Blu-ray player to play Blu-rays on. I will probably buy 1-3 a month because I want to show my support for the Blu side but I am not going to buy heavy until I get a decent standalone player. I hope you can understand what I am saying because I have only bought 11 since November but when I get a standalone player in a few months I will show you I am Pure Blu.

OK...have fun saving! I hear ya though! This hobby is addicting....

ryoohki · 01-16-2008, 02:34 AM

I just did the complete opposite. After 20 + years of gaming. I don't have the flame anymore and sold everything. I'am now 100% HT dedicated..

I hear ya Tru, Personally I was a little disappointed with the Wii, its all my son could talk about before Xmas, surely it was exciting at first cause it was new, but Id much rather have spent the money on buying more movies on Blu.

miokti · 01-16-2008, 02:38 AM

tru_to_blu · 01-16-2008, 02:42 AM

JasonR · 01-16-2008, 02:49 AM

I'll believe it when the next good BOGO comes around and you don't buy a movie.

krispyjala · 01-16-2008, 05:27 AM

Be constructive not insulting, you could have said nothing which would have been far more mature. The OP did nothing to you personally and yet you levy persona insults, make condescending statements, and are incredibly rude. Two sayings come to mind "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" and "silence speaks volumes". I suggest you check out the forum guidelines as the "no bashing other members" and "If you can't post anything positive to the thread don't respond at all" rules seam to apply to your comments. They are based on two very solid socially acceptable behaviors and I would encourage more consideration on your part before posting such comments in the future.

Agreed. When you insult someone you're really only insulting yourself by being so childish. Especially when unprovoked

JimR5 · 01-16-2008, 06:42 AM

I think it's mainly the hype. It sounds so cool thinking about it, but once that wears off, it'll probably just sit there and collect dust. Everyone I know says they used to play it a lot when they got it, but not so much anymore. As for me, I'll probably buy it for the super smash bros

It's going to be tough for Tru to keep up with all the game consoles and finding the time to play with it all. My psp and ds only sees any action is when I'm deployed. But it's always better to have it than not having one i guess

why is there always someone playing the role of mom

BluStar88 · 01-16-2008, 08:25 AM

Or so the saying goes. But its kind of like being a 40 year old virgin.

PS3 is a great player and very future proof. I couldn't wait last march and I wouldn't be able to wait now.

I recomend you pick up a PS3 and enjoy it now!!!

Unless of course it is more of a financial issue then waiting isn't such a bad idea.

You don't have to explain to us how you spend your money. Enjoy your games

You're a funny guy. Do you really think you need to apologize to us for not buying BD's?

I think you are a strong man. Myself, I'm addicted, so I'm not going to stop.

enjoy

Why people buy the Wii is beyond me ... their gimmick controller works incredibly bad for 80% games (those not developed by Nintendo and even those are not working so well), the games cost 50+ $ when similar kids games cost 10- $ on PSN ...

Thats your opinion in the same sense why someone would spend money on blu-ray movies. It would be an open ended arguement on both ends. The good part is the Wii holds its value unlike blu-ray has. Havent seen a massive BOGO on wii games other than TOYRUS, which was greatly appreciated by the way.
I support both Wii and Blu-ray and buy games for the DS as well, so I feel the OP's pain
