Do you notice the difference? We watch alot of space shows and I think they look really pretty on BR , especially because they have lots of action & explosions! We don't own any BR dvds though  . How many do you guys own? |

I have no idea how many i own. I bought 8 last week  It depends on the movie or show whether or not i bother with the Blu-Ray. Action movies you NEED a BR. There is just no comparison. Harry Potter this week? Definitely a BR!! The King's Speech the next week? Fine to just have a DVD. |

I don't see the difference. Granted, I've never bought/watched a BR movie but I've seen it whenever I pass by TVs that show them in shops and I don't see the difference.  |

If I had a Blu-ray player, that's all I'd buy (except for romantic comedies and the like). They're really not that much more expensive, and the higher quality just makes the movies even better. I buy blu-ray now even without the blu-ray player just because they have more special features so I'll just watch them at a friend's house or something. I'm hoping to get a BR player soon!

They have come down a lot at least so hopefully you buy one soon mate The triple packs (BR, DVD + Digital) are handy to have i find. And not that much more pricey. I'm going to try getting one from Amazon to see if the US BR's play on my player. I guess its unlikely being a Sony  |

We don't have a BR player either. Would like to get one for the living room but it would have to be region unlocked (since I brought all of my PAL dvd's with me) do they make region unlocked BL players? Our dvd player in the living room is multi region -thankgod- . |

I don't have a Blue-Ray player either, so I can't say if I'd notice any difference. Even if I did have one, I don't have a high-definition TV... so I'm afraid most of its advantages would be wasted. And anyway I'm not getting one until I'm sure I can find a region-free one. I hate those limitations that manufacturers try to impose on customers! |

A question:
Are Blu-Ray players able to play DVDs or do they just play Blu-Ray discs?

They can play DVDs and Bluray.

They didn't have back tech originally which was pretty stupid  Mine plays anything from any region so it's most handy. |

Ah good to know! The Blu-Ray players are pretty cheap here and I though of maybe getting myself one. Not that there's anything wrong with my current DVD player but I wouldn't mind getting one that plays both if it's cheap.  |

Plays any DVD from anywhere. No player is meant to be multi region. I've heard its best to test it though because a lot of BRD's are actually region free (despite what their packaging says) depending on the studio releasing it.
But my player is a Sony.
