I have Roughly $200 To spend - Blu-ray Forum

Forrestandjen07 · 03-09-2009, 08:39 PM

So My 360 took a crap on me. Im done with xbox. Trading it back in to bestbuy for the $450 I paid for it twards store credit, I already have about half that picked out in games for my ps3.

What blu rays should I get?

I just Upgraded to Dolby 7.1 HD surround sound

So Im looking for a couple movies that well take good advantage of that.

You can check my collection on here to see what I already own and Like

Thanks for the help!

With the new 7.1 surround, I'd definitely suggest picking up 3:10 To Yuma. Probably the best movie I've seen in five years, and the 7.1 PCM track is reference quality.

based on your collection, you might really like Bank Job which is in 7.1

Dark City also merits a HIGH recommendation

Verkman · 03-09-2009, 09:09 PM

Shoot 'Em Up is 7.1 as well. Haven't seen it myself, but looks like a good time of over the top fun!

jkwest · 03-09-2009, 09:26 PM

if you like anime, Akira's Japanese track is un-effing-believeable....seriously...it sounds so crisp and bright...I love this movie's sounds more than the visuals...and you might be able to "accidentally" get it for 50% off like I did...

I see you do not have Band of Brothers. It only has a 5.1 DTSHD-MA track, but it's a good one. Not to mention, this series is probably the best 10 hours of film ever created.

I know BARAKA is only 5.1, but it still is my fave reference disc. It would be a good addition to your collection.
