What percentage of your current DVD collection do you plan on rebuying on Blu-ray? - Blu-ray Forum

workshed108 · 01-26-2008, 06:46 AM

I have been debating on rebuying all my DVDs on Blu-ray as they come out and not sure its worth it, especially when the Blu-ray is a slight upgrade if an upgrade at all.

Probably 20-25 %

Blu Ray is a huge jump in video and in most cases audio quality.

This has been asked earlier. To be honest, my strategy has changed since I voted on the other poll. I started voting that I was replacing ALL my DVDs, but since I have gotten rid of most of my DVD collection, I'm now only buying those that I just have to have in hi-def.

Not always...

Saw, Saw 2, Evil Dead 2, Bench Warmers, etc.

i only own about 10 dvd's...well 10 actualy movies. i also own many boxsets. anyways, im replacing those 10, most likely but i will still only buy boxsets as dvds.

after watching some WB BDs and seeing the grainy picture, i.e Superman, I dont think its really worth it to replace the DVD if they are putting any effort into the transfer

DarchAmonNagar · 01-26-2008, 08:26 AM

Only my favourites. Would love to get T2 On Blu-ray but going to wait till they bring out a better disc. Even with the better PQ I think its a step down to my Ultimate edition with its three versions of the movie and all the extras.

Also need the Alien movies on Blu-ray!! Give me, give me, give me!!!

docjan_uk · 01-26-2008, 08:27 AM

My collection consists of The Matrix 10 DVD boxset, Gattaca and StarTrek Nemesis (the last two were got for peanuts). I have three or four others that were given as presents.
I intend to replace The Matrix boxset obviously, Gattaca and eventually get the Trek Movies.

So, large percentage wise but never really had a large collection in the first place.

Jim Morrison · 01-26-2008, 08:34 AM

Just my absolute favourites if the Blu-Ray offers a significant enough upgrade over the dvd.

dakota81 · 01-26-2008, 08:40 AM

Only the movies I plan on re-watching, which means a small percentage.

sAvAgE69 · 01-26-2008, 10:33 AM

I would say about 10 - 15%

Movies in line to upgrade

1) Lord of the rings
2) Terminator Series
3) Blade Series
4)X Men Series
5) Oh Yes I cant forget Demolition Man

And Possiblly the Alien Series

Nice thread. Like it.

I can't give you a percentage but I can tell which one's i'll definitely purchase again for Blu:

Star Wars I-VI (Must Have on Blu!!!)

Transformers (2007)
Batman Begins
Indiana Jones Trilogy
Lord Of The Rings Trilogy
Pixar Collection (Especially The Incredibles and Monsters Inc.)

Shaun Of The Dead &
Hot Fuzz (Come on Universal... Go Blu!!!!!!!)

There may be more but they don't spring to mind at the moment.

Septimus Prime · 01-26-2008, 12:28 PM

I would say nearly 100%, but I don't have that many DVDs in the first place. Basically, if there's a blu version available, I'll replace it.

Of course, I do have a number of Paramount/Universal DVDs, as well as some TV show collections and stuff like that, which probably won't see the light of day in blu for some time.

mystiksuicide · 01-26-2008, 12:37 PM

Great question, if that includes TV shows it will be a lot since I own complte seasons of X-Files, Buffy, Angel and all the seasons of LOST (one is one blu now).
Cris owns 24, Seinfeld, Rome, Hawaii Five-O, M*A*S*H and Mission Impossible (old school)

So between the TV shows and movies if we replace all the ones we really like id say about 50%.

We will either give away those seasons away as gifts or exchange them at BB once they come out on blu.

Lee Christie · 01-26-2008, 04:06 PM

Movies, 100% if they are ever available (come on get your back-catelogs released!), as for TV shows, i don't have many, only my favs, which I will rebuy if they became available and were worth it.

TheForce8686 · 01-26-2008, 04:28 PM

i'll be replacing between 90 and 100% of my SDs. If it is in the 10 percent that isnt replaced it is because it really is a bad movie that I will probably never watch again.

gearyt · 01-26-2008, 04:51 PM

prob 10%, which is 50 or so as I have over 500 SD's. The Rock and ConAir are the newest to get the upgrade

Blu Falcon · 01-26-2008, 04:58 PM

I will only replace certain titles. I have DVDs that look pretty damn good when upconverted. For example, I now have Black Hawk Down on standard DVD, plus the collector's edition on standard DVD, and now on Blu-Ray as well (3 copies of this movie total). But this is just one of the few exceptions I will make regarding upgrading my DVDs to BDs.
