Reply #17: I did that too. But I got a PS3 with my bluray

So far the only bluray disc to enter my home was Hancock. And I noticed I could see through some of the makeup. It is amazingly sharp.

I noticed a difference on DVD's. Its not huge, they look sharper, but also a little more pixely at times. Watching LOTR, I could tell the WETA scenes apart much better. Battle of helms deep was still amazing, but I could see the "not real" much easier than previously.

I will be buying the LOTR set on bluray, but there is NO chance I will buy it before they offer the extended version. I could spit on them for trying to rip people off by doing a "theatrical" release first, and holding the other back. Beyond lame.
