I gonna be honest..RIGHT NOW, it’s not very important, but in a few months maybe or 1 year there will be enough movies or tv series worth the buying of a blue-ray player... This is when ps3 comes to play, cause you gonna have a great game console, at least as good and powerful as xbox360 plus a blu-ray player, so you wont have to buy ANY add-ons to play blue-ray discs

You can learn all about blu-ray technology here:

well, one thing, when transfering a DTS or Dolby Digital soundtrack to a DVD disc, they have to compress it. DTS is less compressed the Dolby, but still compressed. when they transfer video, they also have to compress it. with Blu-ray discs having about 54GB, there wouldn’t be a need to compress anything, and you would have a theater perfect movie that would run at 60+ FPS and uncompressed sound quality. i’m pretty sure it would probably be more than 50GB too. for games, having there would be more sound to be placed not as tracks, but as actual objects in a game. for instance, every bug would make it’s own sound rather then having a soundtrack for the bugs itself. so the closer you get to something, you would be able to hear the object. with that much detail, you would need the blu-ray format. there’s more, but i hope that’ll do.

is that wut u said when DVDs first came out. where u happy with your VHS tapes then??? or wut about when cd-roms came out... i know cartridges had faster loading times, but still, the memory on it was so minimal! that’s why they had to shrink the CG scenes.

Ok... I don’t think that movies run at 60 plus frames per second. I believe that that number is 24. Don’t believe me, then look it up.

stupid... here u go.
reglular t.v. is 30FPS,
Anime movie: 45FPS
Disney movie: 60FPS
a movie in a theater is 24FPS, but the actual movie runs more then twice that speed.

u need to do your research first before u actually say something as dumb as u did. the only reason in the movie theater that they run the movies in 24FPS is because of this thing called after image. the movies themselves are recorded at higher FPS. it depends wut kind of moovie though. anyways, when more and more movies start recording in true 1080p cameras, there’s no they’re gonna fit that on an HD-DVD. especially if they choose not to compress the sound.

You contradict yourself. You said theatre perfect movies. That is what I wrote... look at your own post. I advise you not to stand up to me when you have no ground to stand up on. I’m all for blu-ray, but I want a correct statement, not something made by someone only to piss off somebody else.

blu-ray sounds great, it’s just a little ahead of it’s time, thats the only problem. sort of like dreamcast online and digital memory cards, it was bad timing.

first, i said a theater perfect movie THAT WOULD RUN 60+ FPS! when i say theater perfect, i meant in over all quality. i know wut i’m talking about. i know at the theater, the projecter runs at 24fps, idiot. and i just proved my grounds in my last statement. wut a dork, read the whole thing, and then say something. and u said, “I don’t think that movies run at 60 plus frames per second. I believe that that number is 24." so, in this case, my last statement did prove u wrong. u didn’t specify in which format the movie would be played on.
