You know, OP, this would've been neat to see as poll, seeing how many joined in each of the past five years. Just sayin'.

Somewhere in late 2009. September or so. Had a player by x-mas after having bought some blus before then.

That is the amazing time when I blu myself.

November 2008. I got my first Blu-ray player as an early birthday present. Scary to think that much time has passed. I Am Legend, Iron Man and Indiana Jones: And The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull were my first Blu-ray's.

I'll never forget.

there was a local Sound Advice that was going out of business in December 07. I was browsing around for deals. Sales rep notices me looking at a jumbo sized Samsung BD player. It was going for 250 but he sold it for 175. Bought it on the spot. Stopped by Best Buy on the way home and paid $24.99 for Iron Man. Popped it in....breathless.

Sold my extensive DVD collection the next day and thus began my BD addiction.

That's funny because Iron Man didn't come out until September of 2008....

I guess everything worked out in the end, but I'm stay waiting for a US release on Children of Men.
I can relate. Only reason I went hd dvd was for ONE movie I had to have that blu did not have (I went blu in November 07, hd dvd about a year after): Transformers! Bought the DVD version of it....hoping that it would suffice....and it didn't,lol.

When hd dvd had officially announced they were done, Circuit City was having a sale on hd dvd players. I wanted a back up player for the 40 hd dvds I had accumulated in case my original player went to pot (which it did this past summer after I was trying to watch Carlitos Way....the one time I had turned the player on). So I drove to my nearest CC to get a back up player.....a day after we had a snow storm bury us with about 15" of snow and after being stuck in the house for 2 days straight because of the snow being bad,lol. I was one of the few that tempted to drive that day....very deserted and not all the stores were open.

I re bought the titles I wanted most for blu, packed up my remaining titles and my hd dvd player, and put them in the closet. Blu all the way.

First blu bought was X-Men:The Last Stand when it was first released on blu. First blu player was the 20Gb PS3 for the blu-ray capability....not the games....because at the time, it was the cheapest way to get a blu player. Later returned it for the 60GB version which I still have but I gave it to my son (this past August) for his dorm room.

Started buying Blu-ray discs on October 14, 2006. Ordered 6 titles then. Was up to 13 titles when I got my PS3 on Nov 21, 2006.
