1400 DVD's? My goodness, Stumpy, how do you chose what to watch? Just going through all your titles would take a day. lol

I have quite a bit, myself. But I am far behind you. Very far. You won't need to replace all your DVD's with Blu-ray. I am just re-buying the ones where I think the Blu-ray version will be a real treat to the eyes. The new ones I buy, I buy Blu-ray only now.

Hi Mark,
I have no intention of going through the act of replacing all my DVDs with Blu-Ray versions. I did that once before by replacing my VHS tapes with discs. In the future, I'll just be buying Blu-Rays for my all-time favorite movies, most of which are westerns.

Welcome to the Blu ray club!
Once you're in you won't want to go back DVD!

Well, Dooley my friend, there's no way I can afford to replace all my DVDs with Blu-Ray editions. I have about 1400 DVDs.

Hi Stumpy,

Try checking BluRay.com. They feature Amazon sales and update the lowest prices daily. I'm still waiting to snag Rio Bravo myself. I have no idea why it's priced so high.
Comancheros, Horse Soldiers and Hondo are all reasonably priced and the improvement over DVD is shockingly good, at least on my equipment.



We deal in lead, friend.

Thanks, Gorch. I'll sure look where you suggested.

I should have seen it coming. Finally, I broke down and bought a Blu-Ray player but now can't find a reasonably-priced Blu-Ray copy of my favorite Duke western "Rio Bravo".

Quote from Jay J. Foraker

To me, Blue Ray is simply another marketing ploy aimed at getting into the collective pockets of the consumer. Like Carl, I am not going to buy Blue Ray discs to replace what I have and certainly not going to pay the extra freight that the manufacturerers insist on charging for their "supposedly" upgraded products. I am totally happy with regular DVDs and won't change unless I absolutely have to!

I feel exactly the same way, Jay. I fell for that money-grubbing scheme in switching to DVD from VHS but I won't do so again. These so-called "technological improvements" just never end and the goal is always the same; to extract more money from the gullible public.
