Do you guys still watch/buy/rent dvd? - Blu-ray Forum

coralfangs · 01-09-2008, 10:50 PM

just wondering

jkwest · 01-09-2008, 10:56 PM

Yep.

to all three...there are some movies that aren't available on Blu-ray yet..

Redrox · 01-09-2008, 10:56 PM

I certainly won't buy/rent any more SD DVD's (unless I REALLY want to see it and it's not available on BD but that only happened twice so far)
But I will continue to watch the (upconverted) DVD's I already own

lightning20 · 01-09-2008, 10:56 PM

i don't really buy movies anymore(i think just 6 or less in the last year) just cause once i watch a movie i don't ever see it again unless someone comes over that has not seen it. mainly rent with netflicks

broganreynik · 01-09-2008, 11:16 PM

i still rent dvds that aren't out on Blu...like Angel-A. But I won't be buying any dvds anymore, with the exception of the new Aqua Teen Hunger Force DVD that's coming out, just because I gotta get that.

I still rent some DVD's. Some movies but mostly TV series from my local video store. I recently watched the first 3 seasons of house over the past few weeks.

dahoover · 01-09-2008, 11:18 PM

Yes to all 3.

Moefiz · 01-09-2008, 11:22 PM

Yes....I still do all 3.....

Rukland · 01-09-2008, 11:22 PM

I do all three still as well to some degree or another.

I use Netflix like a fiend and will rent something that is not on Blu from there.

I am still buying some SD stuff which mainly are TV shows that are not on Blue. And to be honest I am not sure I will replace some of those with Blu if they do come out. Rebuying 10 seasons of SG-1 makes my wallet cry just thinking about it.

I watch a ton of SD stuff still mainly due to many movies I own are not on Blu, (let me beg more of The Mummy on Blu).

Oh and Hi just started posting today, but have been lurking here for some time.

I much prefer the attitude here to that of AVS.

not really... between unwatched Blu movies and blu rentals I keep pretty busy.

smiley · 01-09-2008, 11:33 PM

I only buy Blu. I still rent DVDs for movies I can't get on Blu.

cartier · 01-09-2008, 11:34 PM

I don't buy DVD's and the last time I bought one was over a year ago and the last time I rented one was over 8 months ago. I might rent one if it is not on Blu but right now my opinion is if it is not on Blu it is not worth buying. I do on occasion watch DVD's from my collection upscaled on my PS3 but that is about it.

BluPayne4400 · 01-09-2008, 11:35 PM

Only thing i buy on DVD are my WWE dvds for my WWE collection in which of course will be awhile before it hits blu ray being that they havent even aired in HD and wont for 2 more weeks before they evern adapt HD programming.

tiger roach · 01-09-2008, 11:36 PM

I watch the ones that I have on the shelf already. I haven't bought any since I got the HD rig. Renting isn't out of the question I guess, but I haven't rented a DVD in a long time either.

dperrone · 01-09-2008, 11:36 PM

I haven't rented a movie in like 5 years.....

I still watch standard dvd's that I have (as I am in the 425 -450 range)
But I haven't even bought a standard dvd in about 4 or 5 months.....everything I buy now is Blu or I will just wait until it is

BluPayne4400 · 01-09-2008, 11:37 PM

And i may rent only if like i go over to a girls house and of course they only have DVD player and no HDTV and want to watch a movie especially scary then i dont mind DVD for some lights off scary movie action...

NO to all 3.
Sorry dvd, you're just not mature enough to keep me interested.
I've met someone younger, prettier, and more intelligent.
It's not me, it's you.

KoL · 01-09-2008, 11:40 PM

I still watch DVD. Im not going to buy more DVDs. My last one was Heroes and it was because is not available in BD. I havent rent a movie in years.

JasonS · 01-09-2008, 11:40 PM

I do not buy SDVD, but I do still rent through Netflix for the Universal / Paramount titles that aren't on Blu-ray yet. Hopefully I won't have to do it much longer.
