I'm pretty sure it was Batman Begins, along with some Pixar movies, either Cars or Ratatouille.

The Crazies. I wanted to see it and it was on sale for 15. Decent movie, nothing great.

I got I, Robots, The Devil Wears Prada and Kingdom of Heaven (DC) with my blu-ray player. First blu-ray I purchased was Planet Earth (David Attenborough version).

Young Frankenstein

I hate to admit it, but the first one I bought was the Target exclusive for Indiana Jones and the KotCS because it was on sale for a good price and it looked sweet.

Gran Torino

2 years before i got my player, fortunately we did have a ps3 in the house though

First one bought was The Mist and the first one viewed was Up.

Not really sure. Definitely was a combo title though.

Pre owning a bluray player, the Transformers - Dark of the Moon combo pak. With the bluray player, Lord of the Rings (extended) and The Big Lebowski.

Like a few others here, I also bought a few Pixar combo packs (including Up) before I owned a Blu-Ray player. Just for the record, I believe my first Blu-Ray review was for Michael Jordan to the Max.

The Prestige

I ended up getting it free from some website that was giving Blu-rays away for filling out a survey or something. It was before I had my first Blu-ray player.

I think it was The Last Samurai on HD DVD but I don't remember anymore.

MOD NOTE: 2 THREADS MERGED.


My first Blu-ray: Ratatouille (June 25 2008)
My first HD DVD: The Departed (March 1 2007)

According to DVDProfiler, I purchased the following on the same day. Not a bad start to my collection:

Bram Stoker's Dracula
The Silence of the Lambs
2001: A Space Odyssey
A Bug's Life
The Dark Knight

Hmmm not sure but I think it was Terminator 2. First movie I watched on blu was Max Payne (there was not much to rent at Blockbuster back then).

Batman Begins, Pan's Labyrinth, The Last Samurai, Matrix Trilogy, Mission Impossible Trilogy and V for Vendetta in glorious HD-DVD format! I got them on Frys for dirt cheap once they were getting rid of their HD-DVD inventory, I was sold on HD quality since then and have been happy getting more blu-rays and HD-DVDs

First blu-ray I bought was Pierrot Le Fou Criterion in September 2010. Shortly after I got The Dark Knight for $9 from Amazon as #2 but, to this day, I have not watched it. I did see it once in the theaters though.

The only thing I am going by is my Amazon.com account.

1) First HD-DVDs is Batman Begins & Apollo 13 (all same order) on 11/01/06
2) First Blu-rays were Speed, Ice Age - The Meltdown, Rescue Dawn, Night at the Museum, AVP - Alien Vs. Predator, Flyboys, The Day After Tomorrow, & Hart's War (2 different orders) on 12/16/07.

My first HD-DVDs were V for Vendetta, The Searchers, and Casablanca on November 16th, 2006... shortly before I picked up my XBOX HD-DVD drive. I ended up with 50 or so HD-DVD titles which now live on the Bottom Shelf of Shame. I regularly turn the ones I've replaced with Blu-ray versions into frisbees.

My first Blu-ray was Halloween (original) on September 27th, 2007. Scary to think I'd have more than 500 titles more in those 4 years or so, lol.

Thanks, mod

I'm not going to post mine since I posted twice in the original thread, including after a bump. I'm just glad my answer was the same both times.

My first purchase was Unforgiven and Space Cowboys.

First Panasonic player I bought came packaged with
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
The Transporter
Crash
Fantastic Four

First movie I actually bought was 300.

this is my first Bluray in my collection to pick up Bluray player in same day and going to rid of it til getting Extended Cut.

my first Bluray/DVD combo pack: Kick-Ass (2010)
