Guys im pretty new here in pinoydvd. First off all I'd like to say im pretty impressed with the site since I myself am a big fan of movies. Anyway, I've decided to start a new hobby which is collect dvds. My only problem is we've reached a point wherein HD is starting to become really popular. Now my question would be is it still worth it to start a dvd collection or should i go hd and get blu rays? Blu rays are still quite expensive for me and I have no problem with dvd if dvd will continue to stay in the market unless they decide to eventually get rid of them including the dvd compatibility in blu ray players. What do you guys think? thanks a lot.

Since bluray drives can read DVDs, DVD are not going the way of the dodo anytime soon. If you can afford it and willing to spend quite a sum ( this is a very expensive hobby), bluray Is the way to go. The extra details of bluray are such that once you get accustomed to the finer details, it's hard to look at DVDs. But you might want to buy DVDs for those lesser titles, since DVDs cost a fraction of bluray, especially on locally available catalogue titles.
That said, but aware that go into this hobby only if you have money to spare because eventually even bluray will be superseded by newer technologies, look at beta, VHS, laserdiscs (or lp, cassettes,CDs). So your collection will decrease in value over time.
Then if you get into it, make the most of it - enjoy the movies. Only then would you recoup your investment.
Welcome to Pinoydvd!

Definitely you will invest a lot on BD.
If you feel that you can collect both.
My advise
Get movies in DVDs that you feel is not really that collectible.
Get BD movies that are truely worth it.
As tech dude mentioned, value will not increase in time.

well for me both are worth it, naman, just an impact sa wallet & desire to satisfy once happiness w/c comes as a hobby... think the joy other you'll bring, group movie watching with friends horror or suspense and lastly the impression that you pass on to your kids or next watchers, who knows... guinness might buy your rare collection after long long x100 time for museum purpose, hehehe...

Bluray. Although its still expensive, the resolution and contents are far better superior than the DVD's.
