After much begging from my wife (who honestly was sick of me talking about it), I finally laid down some bucks and purchased a Playstation 3 yesterday.
Firefly on Blu-Ray, here I come!
I’m totally pumped about this. September will give us Iron Man and Transformers releasing on Blu-Ray and this acquisition is just in the nick of time.
It’s also a few months before the baby comes, meaning it will likely the last toy I’ll buy myself for quite awhile.
At least I’m going out in style.
I bought a 40GB version off Ebay for $300 and it comes with I Am Legend and the five-disc edition of Blade Runner, a movie I don’t remember much of because I only saw it once and that was quite awhile ago.
Oh yeah, it plays games too.
But seriously, I cannot wait for the Firefly Blu-Ray set and then Lord of the Rings hopefully sometime in 2009. I’ve been putting off my annual LotR Marathon until I have the high-definition versions to watch and the wait is getting excruciating.
So give me suggestions on the first Blu-Ray movie I should watch/purchase. My mind says to wait until November 11th for Firefly, but do any of you really believe I can hold out that long?
I haven't taken advantage of my blue ray player, just the games baby. I haven't even watched SP3 which I got free. Did watch Blade Runner (more boring than I remembered, was a favorite until I watched it again) and Usual Suspects on BRay. Seriously if you are going to plunk down the bills I would get Planet Earth on BRay. Although today am going to get Nightmare B4 Xmas on BRay.
BAMMO!!! Woo Hoo … Jina rocks!! but CLEARLY your first purchase and viewable item should be….
Iron Man
Great choice on going the ps3 route. Still contemplating on when I'll do the same.
It may be Transformers, we'll see
We should hopefully be getting a review copy of that soon.
Ape is going to review Iron Man on Blu-Ray for us though
Let's see…a Crib for the baby vs Blue Ray Player. On paper, this is a very intense match-up.
Looks like Blue ray won by KO. Lyla can always sleep in the Jina and Mike's bed!
Hey smart guy, already have the crib!
Do it like a band-aid…just get that crap over with
See, I remember Blade Runner being boring as well…ugh.
Planet Earth would be awesome, but not sure I can watch it again…plus, I saw it in HD the first time.
I think you all should get a PS3 and then Madden 09 and Call of Duty 4 or Fallout 3, but thats just my opinion.
Congrats Mikey! I know you've wanted one since the dreaded HDDVD fiasco. Which is probably the number 1 reason why I can't pull the trigger yet.
They have Batman Begins at Target for 19.99$ along with someother Blu ray movies, like the Departed, but I know how much you liked BB.
Transformers would be good as well…. ( you know Im biting my lip here for a comment right Mo…)
Ape cant go wrong on the Ironman review… he's da man!
Seeing as we have a chest full of movies (I know, I know… primarily non-HD), I would like to see this purchase balanced out with more renting of movies, rather than buying (except of course for die-hard purchases like LOTR and Firefly). Just my two cents.
Thank God we can move on to constant decision making or lack thereof on some other electronics purchase now.
Congrats on the purchase. You should definitely jump in asap. I have no doubt that Iron Man will be excellent, as will Transformers (the hd dvd was top notch). I second the recommendation to fill up your Netflix (or Blockbuster) queue with bds. The Pixar movies are great demo material to start with. Amazon usually has the best deals: http://www.amazon.com/bluray I just bought Hellboy and Fifth Element there for $15 each (both superb btw). http://www.highdefdigest.com/ is a good place to start for news and reviews. Good luck!
iron man was absolute shite, so the game cant be much better
Thanks Puddy…good call on the Blu-Ray discs on our Blockbuster queue…need to do that.
Everybody is going blu ray. I don’t mind it because the image is amazing. I just don’t wanna have to buy my whole collection of movies again.
