I've got several older Blu-rays. My verdict.. better. Worth it if you really like the classics, but nothing like this.Varegg wrote:

Not necessarily. The technology exist to upscale the resolution (legitimately, not through a BD player or receivers). You aren't going to get todays production standards but you will certainly notice a difference when it's remastered. I have reservoir dogs on Blu-ray and it looks and sound much better than the DVD version.Varegg wrote:
Buying all the old movies in the Blu-Ray format is a waste of money tbh ... Blu-Ray does not give you a better picture unless the movie is shot in a higher quality ... so to buy a Blu-Ray to replace a movie you have on DVD is almost always a waste of money if it is an older movie ... to buy newer movies is another case however seeing as the content of high quality made movies are compressed to fit on a DVD ...
The prices are already dropping on new releases and will continue to do so as the format sells more ... it's all about pricing if the format is successful or not ...
Actually, Via Popular Mechanic:There’s no reason movies shot on 35-mm film can’t look great in HD; their native resolution is actually far higher than Blu-ray’s. (Remember: These movies were shot to fill huge theater screens.) And when films are scanned into digital, they are brought in at between 2000 and 8000 lines of horizontal resolution—far more than Blu-ray’s 1920 pixels across by 1080 pixels down.
Still, celluloid film negatives deteriorate over time, and some digital discs are pulled from degraded film stock. Worse, in the past, studios would make many duplicates right off the original negatives, damaging the master with each copy. When these prints are transferred to digital, no number of pixels can make them look as sharp as they should.
As of now, this is a much larger problem for DVD than for Blu-ray—most current Blu-ray releases are of popular movies from large studios with reputations for taking good care of their archives. Still, not all Blu-ray discs look good—even new releases. “You need someone with a good eye and good judgment to make the transfer,” says Glenn Kenny, senior editor at Premiere.com. An egregious example? The Blu-ray disc of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford has overly enhanced edges that give the picture an unnecessary halo effect.

But the thing runs very very cool, and is pretty damn quite. If you have no other noise you can sometimes hear the fans running, but I sit pretty close to it while playing and generally don't hear anything.
hrm, sounds like my friends PS3 is acting wierd.
The new 80GB offers 65nm processing and runs a bit more quietly than the older 90nm ones.VicktorVauhn wrote:
I've heard that the 80 gig they are selling now offers nothing beyond a bigger HD.
I cant wait till I get a blu ray player unfortunate my hoe theater needs a new Amplifier is there any amps that have a build in blu ray player?
Not a good idea. Receivers can get very hot. I had to build custom cooling into my entertainment center for mine. I can't imagine that would be good for BD player components.GR34 wrote:

I've heard great things about the Pioneer Blu-ray players
I have been a little reluctant until now seeing as normally the first series of players isn't any good, Pioneer have earned themselves a very good reputation and they make some of the best equipment in their price range ...Jenspm wrote:

The prices are coming down. I bought mine almost a year ago.. it's like half price now..lol. I may get another, better one. The picture is awesome but when I first bought the player it was slow. I've done some firmware upgrades and it has improved.. but still slow.Varegg wrote:
