Blu Ray is here to stay a while. Alas in a way, because its rather disappointing compared to full uncompressed HD, but even for the really good consummer grade TVs and screens, it's good enough (in a professional screening room, the difference between BR and the original source is rather unmistakable). There's still room for much technical improvement in the home market for it to catch up to the quality of the HD sources, but there's no way the MPAA and co. would even support the introduction of something better much better than BR on the consummer market in a foreseeable future.

I don't really care if it stays or not, as long as it doesn't push DVDs into oblivion. I suppose at least computers will keep being able to play DVDs for a good long while...

It really looks like no one watches Mad Men based on the absence of discussion. - 27/03/2012 02:44:01 PM 920 Views
I've only watched the first two series. - 27/03/2012 05:42:47 PM 563 Views
I intend to, at some point. Though as Stephen notes, the DVDs are expensive. *NM* - 27/03/2012 06:13:04 PM 253 Views
People buy DVDs? I thought everything was streaming or Blu-Ray now. - 27/03/2012 06:15:07 PM 608 Views
Also, I think they're streaming on Netflix *NM* - 27/03/2012 06:18:12 PM 295 Views
I'm still hoping Blu-Ray will go the way of the betacam. - 28/03/2012 10:38:22 PM 670 Views
It won't. - 29/03/2012 01:29:52 AM 614 Views
I don't watch my DVDs on a TV. *NM* - 30/03/2012 08:52:27 PM 271 Views

Yes, I just assumed 1080p. - 31/03/2012 05:55:13 AM 593 Views
What type of monitor are you using? - 31/03/2012 05:11:38 AM 712 Views
I also refused to take this step for a long time - 29/03/2012 03:46:59 PM 740 Views
No you don't. - 30/03/2012 01:40:57 PM 864 Views

It was Mad Men being Mad Men, albeit funnier than usual. - 27/03/2012 11:07:18 PM 667 Views
That's true. - 28/03/2012 12:00:36 AM 654 Views
I'm not surprised about the ratings. - 28/03/2012 01:18:34 AM 647 Views
I do - 28/03/2012 12:51:11 AM 759 Views
I've only checked out the first couple of episodes. - 28/03/2012 05:30:25 AM 668 Views
I watched the pilot. - 28/03/2012 02:04:17 PM 719 Views
I've chosen to watch the much inferior Pan Am. Hey, at least they're hot. *NM* - 29/03/2012 10:06:48 PM 307 Views
Totally. *NM* - 30/03/2012 08:55:47 PM 268 Views
Word. *NM* - 30/03/2012 09:34:31 PM 262 Views
Didn't they cancel that show after 3 episodes or something? *NM* - 30/03/2012 11:40:57 PM 260 Views
Not quite, but it does appear to be cancelled - 31/03/2012 05:06:45 AM 806 Views
Aw. Oh well. It wasn't exactly the best show ever, granted. *NM* - 31/03/2012 02:00:06 PM 266 Views
A while before X-mas, one of the leads... - 31/03/2012 03:38:33 PM 729 Views
