So any news on Universal? - Blu-ray Forum

I have a good friend who is just like you Brian. He needs to buy every movie he is even remotely interested in. He got into DVD in 1999 and has since racked up a collection of over 4000 titles. He's got hundreds of discs he hasn't watched but that hasn't slowed down his purchasing in the slightest. Your lengthly list suggests to me that you may end up going down this same path. Practically the only subject my friend ever talks about is DVD these days. He used to be much more well rounded. We need to be careful with HD, I'm already becoming addicted. Lord knows I've got a handful of movies I wouldn't have bought if they were in SD.

You and me both... I've already got 25 BD movies and I have no intention on slowing down on my purchasing...

I never got quite to 4,000 titles on DVD...i got to around 400.
I just buy the movies I really like, or somewhat like. There are plenty of titles in my DVD collection that won't get re-bought on HD, on the other hand theres a ton I will re-buy

As I grow older, there seems to be less and less things I enjoy, this is one thing I absolutely love...so I say Cheers and hold your discs up for a toast!

At my peak of DVD purchasing I had over 900 of them. I sold the vast majority of them over three years ago in anticipation of BD. Am I going to rebuy all of them? I certainly hadn't planned on it. I thought I'd buy about 200 or so of them in HD. But like I said, I've already got a handful of titles I didn't plan on buying.

So yes, a toast to my fellow addicts. This thing hasn't even begun to get out of control but it will.

I thought Universal already announced their intensions for BD support?
