Actually he might have since he did grow up in Gondor.

That doesn't make any sense to me. The reason Blu-ray and DVD exist is to make money. The average consumer always wants the newest and the best stuff out there. Film buffs didn't have anything to do with it, it all had to do with money.

Okay, I see your point, but think about it. Even if money is what's pushing it, the film buffs are what's buying a large chunk of them, so it's still film buffs to thank for where we are, even if you look at it from that perspective.

You do make a good point. Not many normal people would go out and buy huge collector sets like we do. But I know many people who spend their money on the Blu-ray format just because it is the newest and best format you can get. Without people like them, I am not sure if Blu-ray would have gotten this far.

sure i could watch my favorite movies in any format, but do i want to? Hell no. bluray or better from here on out for this buff. even poor transfers on bd distract me these days. i mean come on. why did we buy hd tvs, hdmi cables and blu ray players? because they are the newest thing? no because they present our favorite movies like we've never seen them before. oh yeah, 3d and 2d on the same disc is blah.

I was more saying the average consumer does that. Of course I want to see my favourite movies in the best format possible. But honestly If I could just watch them on V/H/S that would be fine by me.

id say the average person is still watching dvd. oops i might have helped prove part of your point.

personally, i just cant watch crap formats any more. when i go to a friends house and i have to sit and watch a dvd on their $20 dvd player (connected to an hdtv of course), i just cringe (but i make it look like a smile). who are we to tell you what you like? enjoy.

Now a days VHS is cheap due DVDs and blurays. DVDs became popular for its cheapness to VHS and for certain movie buffs the PQ/AQ quality matter. If someone is a car buff, do you think just any car would be there prefer choose. No, that want a car with certain features. A vhs or dcd film just presence the film, at the expense of quality. Bluray and 3d aren't quite popular to make DVDs nonexistent. They are still expensive when compared to DVDs and VHS.

I guess all in all it depends on the film buff.

I can handle watching old formats, but I prefer Blu-ray.

Thank you for the intelligent responses, both of you! It's more often I am just attacked on this site for having a different opinion.

I don't see attacking someone while having a debate or talking about something is anyway helpful. It is all about gaining more knowledge and understanding one another. In my mind, it helps give one wisdom on a subject and not be narrow-minded towards other people.

My view of a movie buff is more restrictive than what people considers. I know for most people they only care about watching the movie, which is one reason why digital copy and streaming is popular.
