Pan's Labyrinth worth upgrading?
 
I've got the 2 disc edition of Pan's Labyrinth, but am tempted to get the Blu Ray. Is video quality that much better to warrant an upgrade?

which region is your 2-disc...

DTS Master Audio... That's all it really took for me to double dip (though I haven't done so yet).

I have the HD-DVD version it's damn nice.

Many fine details on the Faun's face, I couldn't stop starring at it...

I definitely saw a nice improvement over the upconverted DVD on my 61" DLP.

The PQ is much better. The DTS MA is absolutely outstanding.

FYI, if you are format neutral, the HD DVD version has PiP and some online features not present on the Blu-ray. Both have the same video/audio quality.

It may be a collector's item at some point too. ;)

Mine is still sealed.

I think it's a worthy upgrade.

Clarification - the PIP is on both the Blu-ray and HD DVD. (It's done with 2 separate encodes, not with Blu-ray Profile 1.1 functionality.)

The web-enabled features are HD DVD exclusive however.

I would say it is definitely worth the upgrade.

Worth it just for the audio alone.

RichC2 01-12-08 07:51 PM

Absolutely worth the upgrade.

Are yall working on comission or something? :) Just kidding. I think I will definitely upgrade. Itching to buy it now, but may wait for a BOGO since I'm not planning on watching it immediately.

I doubt this will make it into a BOGO sale -- at least the HD DVD version, seeing as it's the one and only New Line HD DVD. I went ahead and bought it for $24.99 at Amazon, which is $10 less than BB has it marked.
