Yah, PS3’s are way overpriced, and all-in-one electronics rarely perform individual functions as well as dedicated machines. A Panasonic anything will basically out-perform a Sony anything, so I say Vic made the right move. But I’m going to wait until they get even cheaper. My target is in the $100-$150 range for a name-brand Blu Ray player.

It’s most disappointing and a shred of greed would seem to in the mix if they EFF us over with another version of extras later on.

So like, what, it will the special edition with a Bat Cowl?? It better if they’re going to pull this!

Grr… argh… phffft.
Sorry, my cat got on the keyboard.

Within 3 months BluRay players will be around 100 bucks. By next Christmas they’ll be under 100.

I’m in noooo hurry to get one. My dvd player still works.

Everyone tells me the same thing “get a PS3.” But I didn’t. I got a Panasonic Blu-Ray with excellent reviews for less than $200. I don’t need to spend $350+ for a PS3 just to watch movies because I don’t play video games.

I went with this one:

Which I was able to pick up for under $200.

Save yourself the several hundred bucks. Just get a PS3. (Even if you don’t play console games.) It reads Blu-Ray, DVD and CD formats.

It’s a huge blunder I’ve noticed from the Blu-Ray developers that simply have not advertised that fact to the general public. Most folks are sticking their feet in the ground and saying ‘no i will not change over again. I just got a good collection going’ If the blu-ray makers informed most of these folks that their collections are still well and valid it would speed along the whole transition.

Even folks who have bought a Blu-Ray are not fully aware. I just scored 20 pretty recent and decent DVD movies for 40 bucks from a fellow in the classifieds who switched over to Blu-Ray and was under the impression his DVDs were coasters now. I just didn’t have the heart to tell him that his discs would work fine in his blu-ray (plus i wanted his super cheap DVDs lol) Maybe that’s the reason they’ve remained so hush about it.

What about the “Platinum and Ruby Deluxe Ultra Special Director’s Edition Dark Knight Mantle Set”?

That thing would sell like Hot Cakes.

Yah, if you’re really good, you can try to shoot through the hole without hittig the disc. I think my most accurate rifle that is sighted in at the moment is 1.5MOA, might need something better…

@790
The thing that pissed me off the most about Wall-e was not so much the packaging or the Go Green attitude, it was the friggin price for the 3 Disk Edition. $35.00 but with all the taxes and such thrown in there. 35 bucks!!!
Hellboy 2 3 disc only set me back 28 bucks, Disney is definetly going green, but in the environmental way. I was realy choked that i had to settle for the Single disk, being the Special features Junkie that I am.
We should get together and see how well we can turn them into Ninja Stars and Fling them at the doors of the studios and their Distributors.

Yeah I remember those days Metalicat79.

Isn’t ironic that Wall•E preaches that were destroying the eco system with junk, and look there’s 3 versions of Wall•E on dvd/Bluray. The special edition even has that cardboard sleeve thingy that I throw away as I’m walking out of the store. There’s usually no recycling bin near by so I throw it in a regular trash can. (Damn I’m killing the planet)

I think this is all part of their “Go Green (to save the children) Program?”
Or maybe going Green stands for making money…
Nah they wouldn’t lie to us,,,

I’ve been using the digital copies as dvd coasters,,, they work great for large beer bottles. You can also use the digital copy to signal aircraft if you get stranded out in the desert or on a boat,,, they don’t work good as Frisbees though,,,

You could use them for target practice?
