Went through the same set of questions before I went Blu-ray. I am understand the dilemma of duplicating the library. I am currently selectively updating my library and choosing movies that I did not already own on std DVD’s. Looking at your library feels like staring at my own. There is a large overlap in the set of movies!

I picked out a bunch of Blu-ray’s from amazon, many I did not have but really wanted (The Fall, Ratatouille, Like of Brian etc…) and some that I already owned (Shining, etc…). I guess the duplication was worth it, shining, specifically, looks amazing. I think it was worth it. I would keep my DVD’s for a while though to lend to friends or so.

Coming back to the question at hand, yes definitely Blu-Ray. But I would keep an eye out for good deal DVD’s. It is much easier spotting good movies at good deals on DVD’s right now.

Like most of you out there, im in favour of Blu-Ray as well. The visual and audio quality is by no means many notches above the traditional DVD quality. After watching several movies watching it on Blu-Ray itself, theres no doubt that for the extra 3 bucks investing to get the HD version of the movie, its a steal.

But sometimes i must agree to build up a collection of Blu-rays is a tremendous amount of time and money to invest in. If you are a fan of movies and especially particular about quality, then blu ray is the way to go.

For me, my practice is that i would only buy movies in Blu ray if they are my favourite movies that i would watch again and again and have very high production values, or movies that are visually pleasing and have lots of very good cinematography or artistic direction to it.

Wow…looks like everyone is in favor that blu-ray is the way to go…fantastic ! :] Thank you so much for all your advice and recommendations.

ClearTranquil/Calan – Cool ! I’m going to order Iron Man real soon !

Ulrik – I’ve actually been watching dvds on my television rather than my BENQ monitor, but I’ll be switching over once I get my blu-ray drive.

Roy – Thanks for the excellent advice. I think I’ll definitely be getting rid of my SD dvds and buying my blu-rays selectively. Oh and those dvds with the wrapping still on, I basically just made a slit on the cover so that I can take out the disc so many of them still have the wrappings on.

Gordon – Haha, you’re absolutely right, I dunno why I didn’t think of that – blu-ray has so much more storage potential there should be loads of extras indeed.

Parka – Thanks for the heads up on the Iron Man artbook !

Harry D – A year already ? Haha I must be ages behind time !

one – And you too. Thanks for the bagua. See you again soon !

RAM – That’s the 10th Anniversary edition, it has 2 discs and a storyboard book. I believe the blu-ray edition will be out early next year.
