So you decided on Blu-ray, but what made you finally buy it?

We all have the obvious answers in common. Best technology, best picture, best sound, most support, etc. But what "moved" you to finally bite and buy it?

Like most of us, I waited for the price to drop. I decided on blu-ray a long time ago and figured on buying it about the time Spider-Man 3 comes out on video. I figured by then the format war would be pretty much settled. Then along came Paramount....sigh.

Anyway, while my love of Spider-man seriously made me consider blu-ray this year, it was while the movie credits were rolling for Transformers I decided, "I'm getting blu-ray.... because of this movie." I was looking at players on the Sony site researching players. I saw the second gen player and decided, "Today is the day." Week after getting the player, the announcement was made. I was angry for at least a week or two. !$@#%&*! Paramount.

After I settled down and got over it, I kept seeing reassuring news that blu-ray would win. Polls and opinions mean little. We are winning in sales, and we gain a little more exclusive support each day. I am not regretting my choice AT ALL. Plenty of other great movies will keep me occupied.

I also wanted to utilize my HDTV to a fuller potential. What made you bite the bullet?
