Will you upgrade your DVD collection?

[frnd08]

I have a large number of DVDs, bought over time from various sources and stores. I was wondering if you still buy DVDs, if yes, when do you plan to start buying blu rays. Do you plan to sell your DVDs and then buy Blu Rays of the same movies?

Generally yes, movies like TDK and Gladiator which I bought on DVD, I have now bought the Blu ray. I havent sold them yet, but plan to some day.

However, some movies you feel there is no real value on moving to BD esp. comedies or romantic or such genre. For action, sci-fi only BD.

Although, with the pricing from Amazon UK its very tempting to buy BD irrespective of genre.

+1 to that !! In fact, Amazon US is probably cheaper than UK.

 

[just4kix]

Yes and no.

1. The BD pack sold in USA is many a times higher priced than UK, and vice versa too. But UK item box usually contains a single BD while in US, it has an additional bonus disc or digital copy or 3-in-1, etc.
2. When taken importing in context, the free shipping from Amazon,UK makes a lot of difference and hence a BD will ultimately be cheaper.
3. There are many who are not interested in the extra discs containing studio footage, interviews, trivia, storyboarding data, etc.

So it is a disc to disc (or rather title to title) case as to what is cheaper where.

Very true. The situation gets further complicated since the prices themselves are not constant - they keep moving up and down. Very confusing !!:sad:
