Blu Ray - have you taken the plunge yet
If you like movies and own an HDTV, have you purchased a Blu Ray DVD player yet? There is now a very good selection of movies to buy or rent and I have seen several players on sale for less than $200.
And the current players are better. My first Blu Ray player was a Sony BD300. While the picture and sound quality were great, it was in a very frustrating piece of equipment. From the time that you turned it on till you were seeing the movie was several minutes. Tocall the remote control response sluggish was being far too kind. And it cost $500. But current players are much, much better.
Electronics retailers and movie rental stores are allocating more of their space to Blu Ray titles. My closest Blockbuster has a very good selection, even a local grocery store has started to rent Blu Ray movies.
For me, once I got used to watching high definition programs on TV, it was hard to go back to lower resolution standard DVDs when I wanted to watch a movie. The difference in picture quality was just too much.
So whats keeping you on the sideline? What is the price point were you buy a Blu Ray player for your High Definition TV? $100?
