Do you only buy BD now? Even for sitcoms?

[redsoxfan626]

Obviously something like Lost or The Dark Knight is necessary on BD but would you really want to spend that much more to have a sitcom on Blu? It can get really expensive to only buy BDs, so do you settle for DVDs when there may not be a huge advantage?

The only non-blus I have bought in the past 2 years, that I can think of, are some discounted HD-DVDs, a couple of Pokemon disks for my sone and the Robot Chicken disks, that aren't availible on blu-ray

+1. There have been some movies and shows that have not come out on BD that I have picked up just because there wasn't a blu-ray release, ie, The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard, Entourage seasons, etc. Generally if its available on BD, I go with the Blu Release.

I buy DVDs all the time, for new releases and DVDs I just hadn't gotten around to picking up yet. I had over 1000 DVDs before I started getting Blu-rays so even if the Blu to DVD price difference is only $5 or so it will add up over time. I try to follow the same rules I used when deciding which of my DVDs I would rebuy as Blu-ray.

I only buy movies on Blu-ray that I personally really enjoyed (whether they are Razzie or Oscar winners, it doesn't matter to me what other people think about them). They also have to pretty good quality in the picture and audio departments on Blu. They have to be the kind of film where the better audio and visual of Blu-ray directly affect my viewing experience. For me this currently means very limited Blu buying of comedies and chick flicks.

I am largely blu-exclusive. I do pick up the occasional DVD when I think it's something unlikely to come to blu-ray. Last week I bought Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip complete series on DVD for $15 at Target.

I won't buy a DVD just because it's not on blu-ray yet, and I won't buy a DVD if a blu-ray is available.

[Grand Bob]

Same here. I will only buy BD's unless I know the show will never be released on that format. The last regular DVD set I bought was both seasons of "The Monkees" TV series that I enjoyed as a kid; not much chance of that being released on BD.

I try to only buy BD but I won't pay BD prices for stuff like sitcoms but will pick up what I want once the price drops.

[WMAangel]

I am almost completely BD exclusive at this point, except for certain TV shows that were not made in HD that I am still collecting (in which case DVD is fine with me, though now they are very few and far between).....

[cantinflas]

Only blu's for me. I stopped buying used dvd's about 5 months ago. will only buy used Blu's. I do not buy new blu's, strictly used but in good shape.

[HD Man]

Strictly Blu for me. The only exception are kids DVD's like Scooby-Doo, etc that aren't yet available on Blu.

But I do get Pixarand Disney releases like A Bug's Life, Monster's Inc, Pinocchio, Cars in Blu. Just like I did with VHS, I have given away most my DVD's that I now have on Blu.

The Wire is the only dvd I ever bought. If it ever comes out on Blu I might upgrade for a good price.

I've been thinking that myself....especially with Best Buy's annual 50%-off HBO DVD's sale. We've now seen two of those and I've not purchased The Wire complete

[Gaius Marius]

I just buy TV series on DVD. I buy everything else on Blu, and I am patient to wait on the BD if it isn't out yet.

[Jwilly019]

I only buy BD's now. I don't own too many TV shows, usually aren't worth more than one viewing, so that's not a factor. I do plan to purchase Sons of Anarchy when I can find it for a good price, I'll rewatch that one a few times.

A friend recently bought In Bruges for me, but that hasn't been released on Blu-ray yet (in the US at least).

[Kryptonic]

Nah. I'll still buy a DVD if the price is right.

I hate when people say, it's not worth it to own on Blu! EVERYTHING deserves to see Blu! And, when people say, BDs are too expensive! You can always find a BD for a good price, you just have to look!

But, to answer your question, No! I only buy BD!

[N8DOGG]

I only buy Blu now. I sold off more that 2,000 of my DVDs early last year, while their value was still up, so I could pick them up on Blu when they become available.

[Iron-Blu-123]

Sold all dvd and only buy bluray now.

I rented 2012 at the same time...really needed to know what I thought of the movie. I've since bought that on used Blu....yet to watch it.

I buy TV shows in SD, though most of the ones I want aren't available on Blu. I have upgraded most of Dexter & Lost to Blu. I would probably not do that if The Shield comes to Blu....with 7 seasons, the replacement would be darned expensive.

I do own the first season of Sons of Anaarchy on blu....lucked out with a blind-buy on a miss-marked price at a pawn shop. I'm now addicted to that show....if it goes 7 season, guess I'll buy on Blu, one year at a time.

I agree with all of you. I cant go back and forth from SD to HD. I buy nothing but BLU, ive already sold my entire DVD collection and replaced them with BLU
