Is there any word on Honey I Shrunk the Kids coming to Bluray? Thats next on my wishlist

I seriously doubt you will see that anytime soon. That movie fits into the category of a release you will see when theres nothing else to release. Disney has bigger fish to fry.
 
I absolutely love the cover to the Turtles Blu-ray. Such a vintage look. Perfect.
 
Received my Blu-Ray's from the Red2Blu special. very nice.

That will NEVER happen. Alot of those live action Disney catalog titles don't even have a widescreen release.

Blu-ray Beats Hi-def iTunes in Blind Test
A whopping 92% of the participants in a blind test recently held by the CEDIA association picked Blu-ray over a hidef iTunes movie download. Twenty-five participants were asked to look at two identical 40-inch LCD displays showing the movie 'Twilight', one from an iTunes 720p download and the other from 1080p Blu-ray. Participants didn't know which display was Blu-ray.

The survey was given to 21 women and four men, and took place March 27 in the headquarters of CEDIA. The displays were non-calibrated 40-inch LCDs on movie mode with identical movie mode settings, and connected to the source with high-quality 5-meter HDMI cables. The lights were dimmed in the front of the room towards the displays and on in the back.

This is not considered to be a highly scientific study, but it is nonetheless significant, as it confirms the notion that not only can consumers tell standard definition (480i/480p) from high definition, but they can also tell highly-compressed, lower resolution HD from high-bitrate, high-resolution HD.

wow thats impressive. I just counted and I have only 32 BRs. Did you double dip any films that you already owned on HD DVD?
 
Blu-ray Beats Hi-def iTunes in Blind Test
A whopping 92% of the participants in a blind test recently held by the CEDIA association picked Blu-ray over a hidef iTunes movie download. Twenty-five participants were asked to look at two identical 40-inch LCD displays showing the movie 'Twilight', one from an iTunes 720p download and the other from 1080p Blu-ray. Participants didn't know which display was Blu-ray.

The survey was given to 21 women and four men, and took place March 27 in the headquarters of CEDIA. The displays were non-calibrated 40-inch LCDs on movie mode with identical movie mode settings, and connected to the source with high-quality 5-meter HDMI cables. The lights were dimmed in the front of the room towards the displays and on in the back.

This is not considered to be a highly scientific study, but it is nonetheless significant, as it confirms the notion that not only can consumers tell standard definition (480i/480p) from high definition, but they can also tell highly-compressed, lower resolution HD from high-bitrate, high-resolution HD.
Thats not surprising. I think most people can tell the difference between a BR movie and a compressed one thats been downloaded. The picture quality doesnt even compare IMO
 
wow thats impressive. I just counted and I have only 32 BRs. Did you double dip any films that you already owned on HD DVD?

Only "Transformers" so far, with "TMNT" being another one, which will be included in the TMNT boxed set I have pre-ordered. I've given myself a rule: I'll only rebuy a movie on Blu-ray that I already have on HD DVD if I can get it under $10.

As for double-dips on movies I already own on DVD:

Daredevil - The Director's Cut
T
he Day After Tomorrow
The Lost Boys

I own 169 Blu-ray's with more on the way. :) I should easily be past 200 by the end of the year.
 
I have around 160-ish Blu-ray/HD-DVD's. I'll probably get to 200 as well this year. I'll be replacing my HD-DVD's little by little depending on price and all.
 
Just got done watching The Curious Case of Benjamin Button with my parents. Highly recommended...amazing film. Fincher does it again.
