So a few days ago the bf @BurbankBoy showed me a post from the usual idiot trying to play the role of false prophet by crying end of days for Blu-Ray. Well I’m sorry I just can’t believe any of that.

My Blu-Ray Films

These idiots go around saying that with Up-conversion of DVDs and downloads of HD videos Blu-Ray will fall. First off have these people ever actually watched an Up-converted DVD? Sure it’s better than a normal non up-converted DVD fer sure but it in no way comes even close to the quality of Blu-Ray. Every time I put a Blu-Ray in to watch I’m amazed by the quality and it never fails. It’s not just the picture but it’s the audio too it’s as close to perfect as we can have with today’s technology. As for the HD Downloads have these people ever actually attempted to download a full movie in HD over a standard “High Speed” Internet connection that the majority of people have? It takes forever I’m sorry but I just don’t see that as being very convenient or easy.

Personally I have been trying to buy more Blu-Ray discs as of late to boost my collection unfortunately the issue that I run into is that the majority of the things that I like are Foreign this poses a problem because you just don’t really see Foreign films being released on Blu-Ray in the states right now just on DVD. This is probably because of the high cost to the distributors of these lesser known titles here. Now if they would just lower the cost to all distributors things would be better but this in no way can spell death for Blu-Ray because eventually as it is these costs will drop with time and then everything will be released on Blu-Ray.

I personally feel as though they need to start actually phasing out DVDs and the big name distributors can do this just release on Blu-Ray Discs. The companies making the Blu-Ray players can lower the prices a bit and give a voucher with every player for several free Blu-Ray discs to get people started. None of that is really needed it would just speed up the process faster. Without doing these things it will still take a little bit of time I mean look how long it took DVD to win over everyone from VHS.

I apologize for taking your time with this post but I had to get it out =]
