Do You Buy Every Blu-ray Movie? - Page 3 - Blu-ray Forum

MosHighDef · 02-29-2008, 09:44 PM

I dont care about how anyone spends their money.

I do agree that there are alot of junk Blu rays that shouldnt even be on Blu Ray. I would say 80% of the movies are rental status. I wouldnt want a collection of movies that i couldnt watch more than once.

I think I'd rather have a super sooped up home theatre with less bd's then the otherway around though. Yeah, yeah, you feel me? huh, huh? yeah, a little bit? huh? alright. (that was my stewie nudgin' on Brian impression. Just read that last bit over in Stewie's voice. It makes it much funnier)

I buy the movies I will watch over and over again and enjoy. Have not had to trade one movie in as of yet.

My initial plan is to buy 365 titles that I really like so I can watch at least one everyday of the year. Once I get to that number, who knows I may well continue on buying another 365 so I can watch 2 per day.

Ya gotta love the "if I don't like it, then it shouldn't even be on Blu-Ray" mentality.

tntkain · 02-29-2008, 10:09 PM

We buy about 1 a week, sometimes 2. But we still only have around 35 and 8 of those were free

I can't help but think it is stupid as more than a few blurays have bad transfers and are overpriced. If you ask me there is only about 100 bluray discs out at the moment i would go out and buy (i have 60 counted them last night).

I no ppl have diffrent movie tastes but i still feel sorry for ppl that have over 100 blurays at this point in time. Bluray is the best format ever but why buy shi* movies just because there HD.

Any one agree

Honestly I think only about a 5th of the Blu-Rays out are really great movies. Most are just c quality action flicks. I got carried away with DVDs and regretted many of the purchases I made and the money I spent on them. I'm a bit more choosy now.

cartman781 · 02-29-2008, 10:31 PM

Not to be an ass, but there are alot of new people in this thread critisizing people with over 100 blu-rays. If you had been here for all the deals a few months ago you would have purchased more than you had planned to.Anyways welcome to everyone

Blu Titan · 02-29-2008, 10:35 PM

I have over 150 BDs, and I would have a lot more if the Universal titles that were released in HD DVD were made available at the same time in Blu-ray. I find it difficult to watch regular DVD, and the quantity of Blu-ray movies available for rent at Blockbuster is unacceptable. Anyways, everytime a new movie is released in Blu-ray, BB only gets a couple of copies, which the employees of the store are quick to rent and keep forever.

BluRay Rulez · 02-29-2008, 11:28 PM

When I was buying DVDs, I would end up buying DVDs all the time. Now that I am buying Blu-ray I won't be purchasing as much. For a few reasons, the cost, don't watch them, etc.

Canada · 03-11-2008, 08:02 AM

I can't think of 100 movies I want on blu yet.

Kuraudo · 03-11-2008, 08:39 AM

Ehhh.. My sister will end up being one of these people.
She maxed out recently at 1750 DVDs, thats 135 a year! (14 years she collected)

Now I'm not sure what shes going to do now, but 2 weeks ago I informed her about Blu Ray winning the format war and now shes all in PANIC MODE !

She's worried Sony is going to overcharge and make everything proprietary. But its just a format, its not hardware, ..nothing to worry about!

BlackLightShark009 · 03-11-2008, 09:23 AM

I only buy what i like/or saw at the movies and ended up liking. The only movies i got on dvd then got on BD were the first 2 Resident Evil. Got the RE Trilogy.

Novacaine · 03-11-2008, 09:28 AM

I will only buy the movies that i like on blu. I wouldnt just buy every movie out just because its supporting the format

krazeyeyez · 03-11-2008, 09:29 AM

i go on binges when i got the extra cash for it.

i have 10 new blu's coming this week!! after the target sale coming up

i gotta lay off for ALONG while. its hard for me to watch alot of my older dvd's now that i am so used to blu.

Squozen · 03-11-2008, 11:03 AM

I stopped buying every 'oooh, this'll be a good demo disc' film after I made some mistakes in the laserdisc days and ended up with some embarrassing crap like Twister that I'll never watch again.

I only have 19 BDs now, but they're all quality titles. Another 5 on the way.

MOONPHASE · 03-11-2008, 11:09 AM

if you got the money then go ahead if you want to

wormraper · 03-11-2008, 11:55 AM

I buy what I want. Many times I can buy the movie and trade or sell to someone else for a title I do want and make out for the price of a rental. Plus, I am a skinflint. I scrounge for coupons/deals/sales/bogos etc... I NEVER pay retail *unless I have a gift card*. I've averaged about $12 per blue ray and much less for my HD DVD's (especially with the firesales at Hollywood and other places. ) As long as you're smart with your deals etc you'll come way ok. If I was buying all the movies I had at BB or CC or WM retail I would be flat broke!!!

+ I almost NEVER go to the theater so all that money that many people spend for themselves a soda and a date bought me 2-3 blu rays/HD DVD's. I get much more enjoyment out of the movies that way than wasting that much money at a movie theater.

Beta Man · 03-11-2008, 12:56 PM

I keep hearing people say "if you were around during the BOGO sales" that may be..... but as of right now, if all Blu-Ray discs went to $10, I'd probably pick up 2 or 3 that I don't have now, and if ALL blu-ray discs went to five bucks each, I'd probably only get 3 or 4 I don't have now. My wife may pick up a few, but that's all that's out there that I don't have that I'd even want to watch.

I don't have Cars/Ratatoulli.... I netflixed them, and yes, they look awesome, but my kid is only 4 months old, so I don't need to buy films for him yet, and I'm a 29 year old guy who doesn't enjoy pixar animated fluff. If people here like it for the plot, etc.... that's fine, but I don't, and I don't buy discs to show off my system, I buy them for my own enjoyment.

I agree though, everyone can spend their cash on whatever they want.
