Terminator 2: Skynet Edition for Blu-ray.
1080p, DTS-HD Master lossless audio, both cuts seamlessly branched, hours of extras.
Time to replace my barebones HD-DVD with only the extended cut.

That's - one of the few things that would make me consider going Blu-Ray, actually.

Can I justify it for a 26 inch screen, though? :erg:
Scots Taffer on 26/2/2009 at 11:02
Fuck no. You really can't tell (much) of a difference til you're > 30 inches on a good lcd/plasma.
I've got a 42 inch plasma and the difference is cosmic.

So I've heard, Scots. So I've heard.

You can't imagine the amount of psychic power I'm using right now to not make a penis joke.

I can't see the point of having a resolution so amazing that you can see the actors sweat - or catch glimpses of the 4th dimension if you look through a certain filter at that spot slightly to the left of the couch (though that'd be somewhat more interesting than the actual movie) - unless it's porn. Which, from my understanding, won't be available in Blu-ray. And, as for Blu-ray, the picture is so "clean" that it's lifeless. It's like watching a film in a digital movie theater, which I'm not a big fan of. To me the movies lose a certain amount of depth when presented digitally on a big screen. But, they're cheaper to produce and distribute, so the end of 35mm is near.
As for me telly, still watching a 28" here and probably won't "upgrade" anytime soon. Large television screens are just too damn busy and annoying to watch as one can't quite catch all of the action.

Just about the only film I've seen in HD that made me go all
holy shit like, was Transformers.
That was an HD Download via XBox live, rather than blu-ray tho'
In fact, if XBL work on improving their catalogue, I'm tempted not to buy any more physical media at all rather than forking out for Blu-Ray. (Recent Additions to XBL film catalogue: (

You're doing it wrong.
Protip: you need to move further back.
