Re: What crteria do you have for whether to upgrade a title to Blu?
 

I said I would not upgrade any of DVDs to BR, my will power has failed me.

Had to get some of the movies I watch and my family watch over and over again.

1. Sound of Music
2. Transporter
3. Mama Mia
4. Iron Man 1
5. XMen 1
6. Wizard of Oz
and a few others that I can't remember now.

Has to be:
-Something my family or I will watch several times a year
-Has to be a giant leap in VQ (Sound is a big plus, but not a huge selling point)
-Price has to be lower than 19.99 (much lower)
-Can't be something the Studio just threw together to get another buck from me, they have to put some heart into if they want me to put some of my $$$ into it.

But, I will not be upgrading the 400+ DVDs I own, unless I win the Lotto.

Re: What crteria do you have for whether to upgrade a title to Blu?
 

It has to be something that is a considerable improvement (apart from just better picture & sound) over the DVD and a film I will watch over and over.

I bought Johnny Handsome Blu-ray for $7.99 because the comparable DVD (which I never bought) is a VHS transfer, full screen with no extras.

Usually if the DVD was struck from an HD master, up-converting is good enough.

I upgrade them all, but I only have 350+ movies. About 40 remaining DVD's to go. If I like a film enough to own it I want to watch it in the highest quality possible, even if it's just a marginal improvement.

1) movie rewatchability
2) transfer
3) price
