Stop! Why It Still Isn’t Safe to Buy Blu-ray

By now you know waaaaay too much about Toshiba’s format-war surrender, the death of HD DVD at the hands of the larger Blu-ray armada. You may even be eying the Blu-ray players mounted proudly in point-of-sale displays at Best Buy or Wal-Mart. Pricing hasn’t come down to HD DVD player levels—and with those sinking even further, it’s unlikely they ever will—but the need to get in on the action might provoke you to spend some extra cash. All we’re saying is DON’T! Not yet. If you don’t know why, let us explain.

    I continue to see no point in buying blu to begin with. I might get a PS3 someday, once more games that don’t suck exist, but really, it just doesn’t have enough over DVD to make the upgrade worth it, and with the spec issues, there’s just no safety in being an early adopter like I was of DVD.

    Clearly you are a movienoob. If you have a Full-HD screen then it has more than enough over DVD the picture is so much better not just a little better a whole lot better. So bluray is definitly worth it especially with the PS3, which already has enough games that ROCK!!!
