Some cringe-worthy views..

i wouldnt buy bluray its a load of **** because they "won" the hd war by marketing that they had larger disc capacity (it was a lie because a month after bluray anouced 50GB discs tosh anounced 51GB discs)

**** bluway - the 50GB discs cost more than say 15 or 20GB (or whatever they are)
So buying box sets and movies dont expect everyhting on one or two dics.

I bought firefly (my 1st bluray purchase) and 13 episodes on 3 ****ing discs? Even at 1080 they would not be 150GB to download the bluray of firelfy. I must actually check it out to see how big the combined file size is. Still sony lied thorugh their teeth about the size of their discs so dont buy their product.

Either just buy a Toshiba XDE500 http://www.home-entertainment.toshib...0/?showBy=size (its a DVD player that upscales std DVD's to 1080 so why pay the extra for bluray?)

or else just wait a year or so for TV/movie downloads to spread - it will be cheaper because no packaging or retail markup (although i must admit i do like the look of a nice box set)
