so i finally bought myself a blu-ray player today. i picked up the Samsung BD-P1400 along with two movies; syriana and layer cake. i cant believe how amazing the picture looks (and my tv is only 720p/1080i).. now i wish i had 1080p. those two movies cost me $87 with taxes.
has anyone else here 'gone purple'? any movie suggestions? |

Don't know if it is available on BD, but it looks amazing on HD-DVD: Transformers.
Other things to get:
Blue Planet Documentary (looks ridiculous)
Jesus man $87 for two movies? The HD experience is not worth that in my eyes. |

I got Planet Earth on HD DVD (it's available on both).
That definitely has to be your first purchase!!
It is absolutely amazing!
PS. Transformers is only available on HD DVD. I have it but haven't had a chance to watch it yet.
PPS. If you want cheap movies, buy it from Amazon.com (not .ca). You pay for it US $$, You don't have to pay Tax, there are no brokerage/custom fees as its shipped from within the Canada (Mississauga) and they are about 20%-30% cheaper than buying them in Canada.
They also have lots of BOGO sales (buy one get one free). I believe that BD and HD DVD have BOGO sales on right now. |

Sure.
It's absolutely amazing.
Season 3 is actually on TV on Canada. It's was like 6 episodes behind when it was aired on TV. But they were on Wednesday on Showcase or Bravo or something like that.
Hope Season 3 comes out on BD soon! |
