Reviewers recommend buying non-eye-candy films on DVD even if you have BD

[haushausman]

I thought that way when BD first came out. Comedies don't really need to be HD... but then you go back to watching standard def. and I swear it hurts my eyes a little. You get used to seeing things clearly and want to keep it that way. I wouldn't rebuy a movie like Anchorman, but I'd never pass up the BD version.

On another but similar note: After being told by my father I'm wasting my money buying all these Blu-rays, and quote, "Just rent them.", I began to think and try to justify my crack-like addiction.

Here's what I came up with. To rent a Blu-ray from Blockbuster costs close to $7 nowadays. Buying Blu-rays through websites like Amazon I'm able to save money off the MSRP and pick up BDs on average for about $20. So to buy verse rent will cost you on the average $13 more. Well, BDs seem to keep their value very well and the average used BD on Ebay goes for around $12 or $13 bucks. Sell it and you break even verse renting.

I should of told him it is renting that is a waste of money. Sorry, had to get that off my chest and didn't think it deserved it's own thread.
