Hi,

I need statistics on how many units of the following types of (old) movies would get sold on blu-ray per year (starting from this year)?

Movies like: Titanic, Terminator 2, Jurassic Park 1, Rush Hour 1, etc? (movies that most people would have purchased on DVD probably many years ago).

I basically need to know how 're-sellable' these types of movies are when they are released on a new medium in higher quality.

Anyone got any ideas?

I heard that they've stopped making hd dvd players. I have multiple dvds that wouldnt ever be made into blu ray disks. would i still be able to play them on a blu-ray player if they stopped making regular dvd players?

thanks.

I know PS3 can play Blu Rays, but I would assume the picture is better on a device that's sole purpose is to play Blu Rays. Unlike the PS3, which is to play games. Which Blu Ray player would you recommend? Thanks.

I just got a PS3 and I do NOT have an HDTV, so if I bought a Blu-Ray/HD DVD, would it still sound like an HD DVD without and HDTV? Plus, what is the difference between Blu-Ray and HD DVD? Thanks!

I think its a 3-way tie between Crank, Hellboy, and IRobot but I have not seen all the blu-rays that are out. So let me know what you think is the sharpest blu ray with the best picture quality that you have seen.

I have a PS3 which is a blu-ray dvd player. I'd like to rent movies online from blockbuster that are blu ray. Do you know where to find these movies on their website?

Fashionista85 asked:


Do both versions come in a Blu Ray or are they two different versions for one movie you buy seperate?
Really? I would think that makes no sense since most HDTV are widescreens. I bought a ps3 for xmas havent opened it yet but it comes with Spiderman 3 and outside it say nothing on widescreen or full screen.

timster799 asked:


I would like to a recommendation on a good blu ray player. Should I get a standalone player and buy a Playstation 3 because of their reliability. Any recommendations is appreciated. It will be connected to a HDTV 1080p hi def TV.
I meant to say -- should I get a standalone player OR instead a Playstation 3. Thanks.

john asked:


I don't think just because Blu Ray has a higher compression rate and can fit a lot more information on it makes it a different format. Isn't it just an improved DVD? Isn't this whole Blu ray thing a marketing scheme? And the fact that it requires a different kind of player doesn't mean it is a different format. When Hybrid cars that ran on battery power came out we didn't stop calling them cars, did we?

So how can Blu Ray be a different format than DVD?

jwm789 asked:


I currently own a code free DVD player, meaning that I can play DVDs with any regional encoding. I love it, and it's great for foreign films.

Is regional encoding for Blu-ray similar to traditional DVD? Can someone explain this to me? I would imagine, hacking a Blu-ray is significantly more complicated than DVD. Is it possible to obtain code free Blu-ray players yet?
