Star Trek DVD Debuts New Technology

Blu-ray? Blech! Just another scam to make us buy $#%@ we already have on DVD.

What do you think, Captain?



I thought so!

Who's buying it on VHS??? ; D

Lmao @ BIJOUS!!

Well Brent @ I never liked STAR TREK but i'll deff buy this, the film was Awesome!

I don't care about all the extra content I can watch it online for free eventually, why pay a crap load more for extra features? the hologram thing is cool but I'll pass and just buy the single disk DVD.

Blu-ray's are definitely superior to DVD's. Although the transfer on some blu-rays can be a little grainy, for the most part the differnce in quality is HUGE! The cheapest blu ray player to buy is the PS3 (which you can also use for gaming and the internet) so buy one or be stuck with bland, fuzzy, poor quality DVDs!

Yeah, this movie would be better In blueray since it has cool action sequences and a lot of special effects. If no blueray, a DVD upconverter would be great too.

i'm wit osiris on this one. i'll watch it online. i have seen blu ray movies before and i don't notice anything different. i'll keep my extra 5 bucks thank you very much

Hey superdog, I got my ps3 for only $249. To get the discount I signed up for the Playstation Visa online (you must have good credit to be approved). Search for the online application on google, that's how I found it. The offer may be different now though...

i have a hdtube and the pictor is awesom

as long as you have an HD TV then you will definitely notice the difference between DVD and Blu-ray! i used to have a 19in and i could see teh difference on that easily and now i have a 32in, its even more of a difference! EVERYTHING looks better on blu ray, even cartoons like The Simpsons Movie or Batman: Gotham Knight - the colour and sharpness are far better than a standard DVD.Even with Cloverfield, the picture is still sharper and better than DVD!

superdog: buy a PS3 and you wont regret it! worth every single penny!

what happened to hi-def dvds???

lol longbow.... I'm pretty sure it wouldn't....I would want The Thing if they did.

I buy movies to watch them not for all the extra's so maybe if blue ray ever gets cheaper then I'll start buying em but till then I'm not paying $30 for a movie just because it will look cooler on my HD T.V

hi def dvds and players for some reason didnt have as good a picture or sound

Blue Ray is amazing for most films and not amazing for few films. Blue Ray from regular DVD is just as significant as moving from VHS to DVD. At first a lot of people were offended that a new form of video was being released which forces them to buy a new collection. BUT as time progressed people realized the greatness of DVD in comparison, just as they will for Blue Ray. I own very few movies on Blue Ray and I rent Blue Ray versions from Netflix before I buy so that I know the quality beforehand. I own The Dark Knight, Lost (all seasons), Let the Right One In, Iron Man, Shawshank Redemption, Wrestler, and a few others on Blue Ray. I still buy DVDs for films I like but save the Blue Ray version for those I love.

*My vote is Blue Ray is more than worth the value.

Bluray is only worth it for new movies that used HD cameras, otherwise its a pure waste to buy older movies as the quality isn't any better than dvd.

im gona get a web cam for my ps3 just becouse of star trek

OK people store this in your data banks. The average bluray player costs about 200.00 right now, the ps3 costs about 300.00, a bit more I know but the bluray will play only bluray or dvd, the ps3 on the other hand will play bluray, dvd, wmv, avi, mp3, mp4, ect. almost any file type you can download. I bought a ps3 for the games and on a whim droped a disc with a downloaded copy of dark night (I did pay to see it at the theater twice and have since bought the bluray so no preachin bout piracy OK,) in avi format and to my suprise it played perfectly. My biggest problem was that the ps3 was in my living room and if I wanted to watch blurays in my bedroom or basment I had to bring the ps3 with me and since its mounted to my wall next to my hd projecter (my hi def screen is 8 feet long and 6 feet high) its a real hasle to get it down so I decided to buy a bluray player for the other rooms and thats when I found out that beyond blurays and dvds they cant play so much as a burned cd full of mp3s, how pathetic. So insted I bought another ps3. The tv in my bedroom is a 32 inch tube screen and in spite of that the differance between bluray and dvd is clearly vissable. The bottom line is get a ps3 its worth it for more reasons then I mention here. Since this is a thread about Star Trek I will say that Its by far the best movie of the year so far and I can't wait for a sequal.

That feature makes me wanna buy a PS eye just to try it out. Star Trek was a great film, it's on my shopping list for the year.
