I'm super bummed out about the news that I have to pay an extra dollar a month to Netflix just to get Blu-ray discs, even though obviously it's not that big of a deal. I know they cost more (for now) and a buck isn't a huge price to pay, but I just feel like I'm being punished for being a geek and adopting the best technology available!

You know I've made the switch to Blu-ray, HDTV, and a Playstation 3 since I bragged about my Sex and the City surprise last week, but what about you? Do you have a high-def TV yet, and/or a Blu-ray player (the PS3 of course counts)?

I have a high def TV and got a free bluray player when I bought it. But I still end up playing mostly normal dvds, and I told Netflix to cancel my bluray service. I don't tend to buy them either because they are so expensive compared to regular dvds, and not that much better. But I do love my HDTV, it is huge and beautiful- I just wish more channels were in HD because everything else looks bad on it.
1My husband got us a HDTV a year ago. He had to have it so he cold play with his Xbox in HD.
2We just got our blu-ray player a week ago. We ended up getting the PS3 so we could have the console and the player. I am shocked by the quality. I won't be replacing all my old DVD's though as I really suspect that most of this is going to go completely digital in the next few years.
3We have a PS3 and a HDTV and the quality is amazing! Watching channels like Bravo disturbs me bc you get so used to the quality of HD . . anyways about blu-ray I was annoyed at the $1 charge also, even though it isn't much, but since we forked over for the PS3 might as well get the blu-ray disks to make it useful.
4Call me crazy, but I don't like seeing every single pore on an actor's face! The fiance feels differently, so we have the HDTV...
5I was actually kind of annoyed that Netflix started charging the extra buck. It seems so trivial, and it's **so** rare that I actually get a Blu-ray disc, it was a light kick to the teeth.
6cmd0610--I know what you mean about Bravo! Why don't they have an HD channel yet? Can you imagine how much greater Project Runway would be??
7I haven't yet, but I want to. I need to save money for an HDTV.
8we watch almost all over out tv shows in hd and have both a blue-ray and hd player (sony playstation and xbox 360). we've stopped buying hd or blue-ray though unless we REALLY want the movie. no point spending loads on a format that is going to quickly be old news q:
9I've got an HDTV but have a regular HD DVD player. I haven't upgraded to Blu-Ray yet.
10We have an HDTV and last year we purchased an HD DVD player... well we all know how that turned out.
We will soon be getting a Blu-Ray player, because we loved our HD DVD player so much.
11I'm just like you Dana, we got a HDTV just for the xbox lol.
12I still watch TV on my 20 inch tube tv, cause the HD TV gives me a headache sometimes.
13We haven't gotten a Blu-Ray player yet, and when we do, it will most likely be a PS3. I did pre-order WALL-E in Blu-Ray though, so we'll need to pick one up by the time it arrives
14Yessss =D But no blu-ray
15I still use DVD's. We have 100's of them, and they are wonderful.
16I;m still a dvd user, HDTV is pretty cool but I'm content where I am now
17I still have regular dvd but i do have a HDTV television
18our flat screen has high def capabilities but we haven't hooked that all up
19And as for Blu-ray - I just don't feel sold on it
We don't have an HDTV in our house yet... We recently upgraded to a DVR though, which has actually been quite an improvement over regular cable. I really hope we can get a HDTV and a DVD player that supports blu-ray discs (although I'm really annoyed that I wouldn't be able to play blu-ray discs on my laptop which is where I watch ALL my movies when I'm at university...).
