I'm conducting a quick survey that the local distributors can take note of, so in case the numbers are right, companies other than Sony might want to consider selling Blu-ray/HD DVD titles locally. It seems odd that we still have to mostly rely on parallel importers/Amazon for our HD disc needs.

Please vote.

Thanks!

When you say upgrades, this is a privilege. This is also a question if you want to upgrade your car. Of course everybody wants the best right.
These might help your survey,
Some of the reason why most of us don't want to upgrade because of the following:

1. Cost of the Upgrade - If you upgrde with the HD you need to replace your Player, Amplifier to decode HD Audio and of course Display monitor.
2. Availability of SW (Blu Ray not to mention the cost). People living outside Metro Manila and no time or access to the Net might have a problem acquiring this new HD Disk

To answer this HD is addictive once you have it, you never want to go back on any SD Movies

I have both PS3 and Blu-Ray Players

no and yes... bluray still is expensive... but NMT is the best alternative.

jbluzb · « **Reply #125 on:** Feb 04, 2011 at 11:08 PM »

I will wait when the prices go down a bit.

Hesitant at first, fearing on what happen to HD/DVD but I think the BLU-RAY route will go a longer way than its predecessor

Would love to upgrade, but I don't even have a LCD TV yet as my wife won't let me buy one at the present.

I have both and enjoying it.

of course yes....no one wants to be left behind

froshie1 · « **Reply #131 on:** Mar 15, 2011 at 09:50 PM »

Actually ang pinakagusto ko ay mag rent kaysa sa bumili. Renting is cheaper, and the discs doesn't take up space.

mujacko2002 · « **Reply #132 on:** Mar 16, 2011 at 08:46 AM »

Mabuhay!

If budget allows why not? ipon lang muna me ng mga bluray discs. ehehehehee

Yes, I would,.. given that I recently bought a plasma TV,
I would surely maximize its capabilities, besides dun na din mauuwi yan sa bandang huli,...

I just hope prices of the discs and players would go down soon...

regards,
ABC

2008 pa pala ang post ko dito,
I did added a BD player sa system ko,
but from 2009 up to 2011, parang 20 discs lang
ang nabili ko due to the fact na ang mahal ng discs.
My advice to sa ibang gustong magdagdag ng HD
sa system nila ay go with the media player,
I got mine last January 20th, and from that time
up to now, nasa 200 HD titles na ang naipon ko,
If I was aware na hindi sila naglalayo ng PQ and AQ,
malamang sa hindi na ako bumili ng BD player...

cheers,..!

Will do, probably end of this year, or early next year. Hopefully by then, BD has gone mainstream...and cheap

AICRAG · « **Reply #136 on:** Mar 16, 2011 at 09:51 AM »

No plans this year.

pchin · « **Reply #137 on:** Mar 16, 2011 at 12:25 PM »

Compare to the last two years, now you can find quite a number of BD titles selling at $10 (less than P450) in Amazon. As for the newer titles, the average price is around P800-P900+ each similar to DVD initial stage. After a few months some of these will drop in price. It's much more affordable now but of course we want it to be much lower...

daigoro · « **Reply #138 on:** Mar 16, 2011 at 06:33 PM »

not really. there are other choices available

JhOpZzZz · « **Reply #139 on:** Jul 28, 2011 at 10:00 PM »

I'll definitely shift to blu-ray when I buy a PS3.

Then I'll start buying at Amazon considering all Blu-ray movies includes a DVD copy of it which is good, since I can still watch my DVDs to enjoy my surround sound

I recently just got bitten by the blu bug and I'm getting addicted. But I still won't let go of my DVDs. BD is a great addition to my growing collection.

Funny, I posted before that I have no plans in upgrading. Now am barely buying DVDs.

leomarley · « **Reply #146 on:** Aug 17, 2011 at 01:36 AM »

I've said before na bibili ako once bumaba ng 10k or less ang mga BDP pero now, as with sir ABC, i went the media player route and never looked back

Finally upgraded to BD a couple of months back. One of our CRT TVs broke down & my dad graciously gave me partial funds to buy a LED TV + BD player.

If you want the best media experience you can have. Go with home theater PC. You can do everything you want. Good investment with a home theater PC just satisfies my soul. Blu-Ray writer / DVD and you can have a media center with it. And Rip all your Blu-ray copies for good archives.
