Blu-ray Review HTF BLU-RAY REVIEW: Star Trek: Motion Picture Trilogy (1 Viewer)

I wish I shopped in those stores because I know was paying the $30 MSRP alot back then. Some were cheaper (and some- Fox titles and Universal special editions- were more then $30) but $30 was definitely the norm back then.

Then your memory is simply lacking. Some studios had better pricing than others, of course, but I recall that standard MSRP for a non-anamorphic, bare-bones Fox DVD, for example, was $35 for quite some time.

Yawn!
Travis, you speak the truth.
I was wondering what rock some people have been under, to call Blu-ray a failure.
When you speak of catalogue Blu-rays selling less that 6000 units, dont forget to mention the DVDs that sell just as poorly! Doesnt mean DVD is failing either!

Last I checked this was a review thread for Star Trek Trilogy Blu-ray. Not post format war rhetoric. Please continue that discussion elsewhere.

Well, you see, not only do I not live under a rock, Mr. Yawn, I didn't call Blu-Ray a failure. But since you said I did, since you ascribed those words to me specifically, why don't you just quote the post where I said the word "failure" or, in fact, anything like the word "failure." Oh, and last I read, DVDs are not doing particularly well either right now.

Back to Star Trek. I'm watching the Wrath of Cohen - not the best Blu-Ray I've ever seen (haven't seen that many, though), but it looks many times better than the last DVD.

LOL!!! I guess that is the end of THAT discussion.

 

[RickER]

Yep, thanks Carl!

I agree with Troy, we should talk about Trek on Blu-ray.

By the way Billy, i never mentioned your name in my post.

You also Have to expect alot of the blu ray classic films are already owned by DVD owners. I love Pale Rider, The Guantlet and Casablanca, I own those films on DVD and I'm not in a hurray to upgrade even thou I know they most likely will look better, I just don't have that much disposable incme, but I will buy a New title I want to own and when I buy it it will be on Blu Ray.

Too bad for this argument that we've had several recent announcements of price drops for both hardware and software. This is, of course, added to the dozens from before.

Good grief, what did I start here?
