Now, if we're talking about shooting and releasing a NEW concert, and you have the opportunity to shoot in HD, then that's a different conversation. But even then, you have to factor in the number of units you can potentially sell, in order to decide whether the extra cost is justified. Most disk duplicators have a minimum printing order of 1000 units. If you're only likely to sell 30 copies of a Blu-ray, versus releasing a DVD where you're much more likely to sell all 1000 copies eventually, then DVD is the more logical investment.]]> Matt Levitz NoticeboardWed, 21 Nov 2012 22:42:41 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914826,915092#msg-915092 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914826,915092#msg-915092-------------------------------------------------------

I dont actually know ANYONE else with a standalone BluRay player (other than ps3)..everyone I have mentioned it to says why bother paying for a blu ray when dvd players are dirt cheap. Your average shopper buying a film from the high street is gonna go for the DVD as the supermarkets havent really taken to BluRay (plus HMV's prices for them are ridiculous). I was reading the other day that Morrisons new racks dont allow the stocking of BluRay as they are sized for DVD (I havent seen them myself so can't comment if true or not but our local branch only has a handful of bluray and racks of DVD)]]> seventhsea NoticeboardFri, 12 Oct 2012 00:14:21 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914826,915090#msg-915090 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,914826,915090#msg-915090-------------------------------------------------------

50" would be way too big for our front room. 32" is the biggest for us without it taking over the room.

Yup totally agree - with 32" screen or less - unless you are sitting really close, in an average sized living room there is not that big a noticeable difference between SD and HD. Got a blu-ray but to be honest - for the difference there is, id rather take the price saving on a dvd for most things.

Saying that - i have blu-rays of the 'more visual' films like Tim Burton movies, Moulin Rouge etc.
