Just bought my first SD DVD since December... - Blu-ray Forum

Therickus · 09-25-2007, 10:13 PM

Now, I may get blasted for this....might not....as some of you still buy SD DVD regularly. Had to buy "Knocked Up"... I walked by it and told myself I couldnt wait til it hit blu....then turned back around and picked it up. As soon as it was in my hands, the money might as well have been out of my debit account. On a side note.....Best Buy just made room for a lot more HD DVD and Blu-ray

Palanthian · 09-25-2007, 10:24 PM

I did the same. Been wanting to see it for a while now. I've only bought like 3 SD movies since buying my PS3..:P (Knocked Up, BloodRayne 2 : Deliverance, and Dead Silence)

Dadds · 09-25-2007, 10:28 PM

I have bought Moral Orel Season 1 on SD and that was my only one since Dec of last year. It should be last for a few more years. Family Guy is calling my name though.

It may seem extreme, but, I just don't want to dump money into a studio like Universal. They don't support my interests, why should I support theirs?

Therickus · 09-25-2007, 10:49 PM

*Cough*....somebody help.....I'm going to throw up....right now...HD DVD commercial on Knocked Up. I guess I asked for it but come on....do we really need that.

They make good movies....what can I say...

DJeffries · 09-25-2007, 10:53 PM

Yeah, one came out I had to have too. Pre-ordered Help! SD DVD along with the Spidy trilogy BD. Too big of a Beatles fan to pass up but it is the only SD DVD I bought all year.

theknub · 09-25-2007, 10:56 PM

only sd-dvd i have bought since may or so last year was the indy trilogy. i wanted it when it came out but never got it because of price. then i was at costco a few weeks ago and they had the set for $30. oh well

Whytewash · 09-25-2007, 11:09 PM

the only SDVD that I have bought since I have had blu ray is the new Jeff Dunham special The Spark of Insanity.

The only SDVD movies I will buy now are essentially comedy specials

bignickdawg · 09-25-2007, 11:12 PM

I went to best buy to get the movie Knocked up..... Almost bought the HD-DVD version and said .... why the hell do i need HD comedy + PS3 upscales great.

Bought the SD-DVD

Moefiz · 09-25-2007, 11:24 PM

Yep,Knocked Up was the first DVD I have bought in awile, i don't count Superman Doomsday as one which I must say looked great upconverted by the S300.

I also notice today that DVD'S in general went up in prices also...Knocked up was 15.99 at Wal Mart most of the other new releases was 18.99 and up.

I did pick up Underworld in Blu for 19.99 also, which I think was a good price.

Wtf Bloodrayne 2 are you mental? Of all the SD DVD's out there.

seanjohn21276 · 09-25-2007, 11:29 PM

Hate to say it, but I broke down and bought Knocked Up today as well. It was too damn funny in the movies.

rsound · 09-25-2007, 11:33 PM

Not sure if Knocked Up benefits from HD anyway. I will purchase since it's only $16.99 - my upscaling works beautifully.

blackhawktraffic · 09-25-2007, 11:35 PM

I think i might have to as well, anyone buy the 2 disc?

23.99 at Walmart....Don't know if thats cheap or not couldn't get to Best Buy to see there prices.

RedSnoddyBLU · 09-25-2007, 11:43 PM

Death Proof was the first SD DVD I've purchased since I bought my PS3. My hope is that someday we'll get the true Grindhouse on Blu. I'll be picking up Planet Terror on the 16th. Other than the 2 of those, I can't see myself buying another SD DVD for a very long time.

22.99 at Best Buy with free pack of cards for a limited time. 22.99 at Target.

Copywriter · 09-26-2007, 04:08 AM

I buy SD's somewhat often. If it's not on BLU and not coming in 1-2 months or so, I'll buy.

For instance, I was in Best Buy today and they had season one of "My Name is Earl" (24 episodes) on sale for $19.99. Dropped in my $5 off card and walked out with it for $14.99.

The other day I found Jumanji in the $5 bin at Wal-Mart, so I bought it.

And I got Heroes season one in SD.

My oppo HD981 does a great job of upscaling, so why not buy the stuff that I want.

I will wait.
