Building A Collection

[The Effendi]

I've already used the search function, and I did find an answer to part of my question. I've been a member here for four months, but I find myself seriously ADDICTED to buying blu-rays. I have a modest collection so far. It's about four months old too.

I have a couple of questions to the other new members of this site. Whenever I am surfing amazon, and I find a movie on sale, or a new release, I immediately check the reviews on here. The first thing I check? Picture and sound quality. The movie itself can suck balls, and I won't care too much. If I can get a sub-par movie (like I don't know, Max Payne) with excellent picture and sound quality, then I buy it. I will always shell out the dough for a beautiful picture and clear high definition audio.

So the first question is: What is the determining factor in purchasing a blu-ray?

Second question: Are you the type of consumer that has to buy as much blu as possible, and to hell with the audio and picture quality? I know some movies have horrible quality like crash, terminator 2, and the first couple of SAW movies. But I already own these on DVD, and I can't see myself purchasing them just to add these titles to my blu collection. It's the same thing with the Ocean's Thirteen movie. The picture and audio was a huge disappointment and I don't want to spend 50 dollars on the boxset, which is a weak transfer.

So thank you for reading.
