Accoring to http://www.blueraysearch.com batman begins is available from all the major stores. The search engine produced a result telling me that it is currently cheapest from amazon, at $17.99. Or from the UK it is cheapest from alibris.

Ha Ha, that’s funny what you said about after getting a blu-ray machine you’ll also need to upgrade your TV, cables, etc…LOL! I think I’m gonna wait another year or 2 before I upgrade….I’m frugal.

@Ransom

hahah Sony didn’t just back the right horse, they created that horse.

And Doug, you should definitely get the PS3 since you get the Blu Ray playback and the game system so you can play Viking: Battle for Asgard!

I know that. I’m not going to buy ANOTHER DVD player and get rid of the one I have now which works perfectly fine.

Ha. I guess Sony backed the right horse after all. I bought an Xbox 360 just for the fact that Halo 3 was coming out. Now that it’s come and gone and the format war’s over I’m definetely getting a PS3. By far the best investment in my opnion. You get Bluray and a sweet gaming console.

Just do it.

I only foresee digital downloads becoming the number one provider of movies once the Blu-Ray disc burners become cost effective as well as the discs to burn the movies on.

Digital downloads are coming and quite fast at that, however they are not going to flat out replace physical media. There are a vast amount of people (myself included) that prefer to have their media stored not on a HDD but on a disc (DVD, Blu-Ray, HD DVD, CD or what have you). Backing things up to a HDD for easy repeat viewing will be nice, but I highly doubt that it will be the Blu-Ray killer some think it will be.

I think I’ll wait to upgrade my collection with HD Downloads, have each movie put on a thumb drive for safe keeping.

Digital Downloads will never replace my collection.
Too much danger of losing your whole library in one swoop is the hard drive fails and with HD movies you need up to 50 gigabites per film, extras and all. I have no interest in filling my living room with hard drives, driving up my electric bill and filling my house with fan noise.

You can get a bluray player for your computer for under $150, its from Lite On. Or get the LG one for just over $200, does both Bluray and HD-DVD, plus it can still burn regular DVD and CD, so you don’t have to have 2 drives. Also, your computer is an automatic DVD upscaling DVD to whatever resolution you want it to be. Stick that on a big screen, internet arguments become more interesting even. :P

By the time Blu Ray discs eliminate DVD, Digital will be the way to go and 1 terabyte drives will be less then 200 bucks.
