Do you own a Blu-ray player?

DEKO:
Do you own a Blu-ray player? If so, do you like it or not? Please share thoughts! ;D

I own one since Nov. 2008, since I live in The Netherlands (it was not very popular here until late 2009) I was one of the first people in my town that owned one. :) But now Blu is taking over I can see more and more people enjoying the HD-experience!

Since I already had an XBOX 360, I bought this the Panasonic DMP BD-35 (cheaper than a PS3):


Works fucking great!!!

I think Blu-ray is the future!!! I think in 2012 the DVD will be replaced by BD's. Maybe sooner in the USA...
In about a few years the Blu-ray Disc Association will give the green light so that the discs can be upgraded to 100GB per disc, or even 200GB if you're thinking about a dual layer BD! :o Would be great!!! I'm really enjoying the best format there is right now, and I will do so for the next 10 years! ;D

What do you think about it? Please share thoughts/experiences...

i don't get the hype tbh

a regular dvd is the exact same quality on my tv

Blasphemy:
Can't afford 1. I didn't even get a HD-DVD player back when it was available. I don't have a console neither. Can't afford em.  So no.

Thanks for your honest replies!

The Bigg M-A-U: I get your point. If you don't have an Full HD tv, then it's not worth to spend money on a Blu-ray player. But maybe you'll be able in the near future to get an HDTV for a nice price... and once that is the case, I really can recommend it to you! Because the difference between DVD and Blu-ray is HUGE (Blu-ray is 5 x sharper than DVD) if you watch it with an HDTV. Once you'll see and hear Blu-ray movies like The Dark Knight, Terminator Salvation, Casino Royale, Quantum Of Solace and the documentary-box Planet Earth trust me you don't want to switch back anymore! ;D I said AND HEAR because next to the great picture quality, the audio is also fucking incredible! I never heard sharper sound-effects before on my 5.1 surroundset.... not even in a cinema! :o

Blasphemy: The prices will drop, just wait until the end of this year, and I'm sure you can afford a good Blu-ray player! It's really worth the wait and money! ;)

i have my PS3 and a couple of Blu-Ray movies..... while I agree that movies look fuckin Awsome on it... it is still too expensive both the movies and the hardware....im more into the renting movies now rather than purchasing... its not worth dropping 20 bucks for a blu-ray disc that i will only watch a handful of time ... id rather go the Red Box on the corner and rent a dvd for $1 a day.

Dvd doesnt look awsome like blu-ray does... but it still looks pretty damn good.
