The Blu-ray Dilemma

July 2nd, 2009

Comments

I just recently upgraded my 27″ CRT TV to a nice 32″ LCD, this now allows me to enjoy Blu-ray discs via my PS3. I already have a few that I purchased after I got the PS3 when I came across them cheap knowing that I would eventually be upgrading my TV. This is wonderful… but now I come into the problem of what to do with new releases. I thought it would be easy to pick and choose what releases to go with BD or DVD, but it’s getting difficult now.

For instance, Dollhouse: Season One. Do I go with the DVD since I have a habit of watching TV shows on DVD as I am going to sleep everynight (as I don’t have a BD player in bedroom right now), or do I go with the superior pic quality? Same with Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series, this is definitely a series that would be damn nice to look at in high def, but the lack of portability between rooms kind of annoys me. And I am just not ready to upgrade to BD in the bedroom yet.

I guess price is the big problem solver in the end. Right now I think there is an $18 difference between the Dollhouse BD and DVD. $18 is enough to make me not want to go with BD. I just don’t want to regret it a few years from now.
