Blade Runner gets a perfect 5 star rating on video and audio. Impressive.

Not sure if this was mentioned earlier but....Evan Almighty and Knocked Up can be had for $20 during Best Buy's BOGO. I just took the printout for both movies from the BB website up to the cashier and a manager came by to lower the price.

Not bad for 2 recent releases.

Re: Official Blu-Ray & HD-DVD Thread

I'm thinking of getting the Addon for my 360 and then buying a blue ray for 299.99 at best buy. I am though nervous that I will end up regretting the 360 addon and wish I had bought a free standing player. What have everyone done?

If I buy a blue ray player and NOT the PS3...am I able to update the system to 1.1 and beyond when the time comes? Thanks

I have the add on. I bought the A2 on Walmart's super deal day. I watched exactly 4 movies on it until every movie locked up at random times, I ended up returning it and going back to only using the Add-on. Besides the sound (can't do uncompressed audio), it does everything else perfect IMO. I'm very happy with it.

You should confirm that they plan to update the player to play 1.1. I dont think that the 299 bluray one is able to play 1.1 or is able to be updated to 1.1.

I have the add on and I love it. If I wasnt planing on buying the new Samsung Duo Combo player I would be fine with my addon and a PS3.

I have the A2 and A3, used the A2 on my main TV for about 7 months and then moved it to the bedroom when I bought the A3 with all those crazy deals almost 2 months ago. Then I use the PS3 as my BD player.

It's all up to you, you can either get the add on and use the 360 with it or get a stand alone player. Many on here thinks I'm nuts, but I prefer stand alone players because to me it doesn't give any extra stress to my video game systems. If stand alone BD players were ever on a fire sale for $100-$199, I'd get one for sure..............but the PS3 is still the best BD player out there.

None of the BD players can be updated to 1.1 except for the PS3.

Well I will probably do the add-on route and then once the ps3 comes lower in price or I get lots of target/best buy giftcards, I will fo that route. I imagine PS3 will be reduced again in the near future. Thanks for the input guys.

They cant be updated, but they will play the 1.1 discs. The only thing you will be losing out on is the PiP from 1.1 discs.

I don't ever remember this one in the theaters. I was reading that the cinematography is just beautiful in this one though.

From what I've heard, it's like "The Thin Red Line" of westerns. You can't go in expecting a typical western. It's not a crowd pleaser.
