with the new age bluray out in the market, Dvd copy of movies nowadays have improved in quality both picture and audio. I may conclude that movies like music & lyrics , 50 first date, devil wears prada, etc the dvd copy is at par w/ its BD copy. What really excells in BD copies are movies of war, sci fi,& animations.
Gee yoU aRe yoU!

Does this mean that future BD releases on Movies that are in bluray now will include more special features? Thats bad coz if u do own a copy now, u'll have regrets coz future BD releases will definitely be a lot better and cheaper.

No one can foresee what BD editions will be released by the studios in the future. It's possible that a better edition with more features/supplements BD will be released depending on the studios. It's very similar to DVD variants: single disc, 2-discs Special Edition, Director's Cut, Limited Edition, Anniversary Edition, Colletor's Edition, Trilogy boxset with bonus disc, etc.  ;D

Dvds nowadays are indeed of great quality so definitely it will still be patronized by lots of people due to its price drop. Blurays are expensive and perhaps i will take five years before its price will drop for the masses to enjoy.

...even if you're already into BluRay?
Yes, not all rooms in the house will have Blu-ray players.

Will you buy BluRay copies of movies already in your DVD collection?
Yes, if I like the movie enough.

What will you do with your current DVD collections if you're already into collecting BluRay discs?
I will still keep my current collection.

Actually no plans for an upgrade also. I'm pretty content with standard definition DVD.

Ika nga... You don't know what you're missing if you don't have it. ;D Of course I'd get the itch to upgrade to Blu-ray if I see it at demos in stores, but the anxiety dies down pretty quick for me.

Of course! :D

If my fave movies comes to Blu-Ray, I'll buy them.
Ibang visual experience na 'yun; Just like with regular theater & iMAX. ;)

Parang mga classic comic books, 'pag na-reprint in newer format with new digital colors & glossy paper, people will go for it.

'di naman Girlfriend/Wife 'yan, eh. So, palit agad! Hehehe! ;D

If I have the original DVD already, there's no need for me to buy the BD versions. Unless of course it's Star Wars. :)

And with DVDs getting cheaper by the month, it's hard to resist. And it's not as if DVDs are so ugly! They're just not as clear anymore compared to BDs.

I'll only TRY to buy BD movies that have been recently released so that I can take advantage of the new technologies being used in newer movies, rather than buying BDs of older movies that will make it clearer than DVDs but not as astonishing as newer movies. :)

Definitely! But if I really love a particular movie so much like Pixar Movies, I'll definitely buy them on Blu-Ray.

Mabuhay!

...even if you're already into BluRay?
CDs/DVDs pa rin. Maybe i'll buy a bluray player after 5 years. For me, its just not practical since the technology is still new (well, for me at least).

Will you buy BluRay copies of movies already in your DVD collection?
Just like what others said, Yes and No. Yes, if i really really really like the movie. And No, since i feel there are going to be a lot of movies coming up with better or improved graphics, sounds etc so i'll just save the money for those things. 

What will you do with your current DVD collections if you're already into collecting BluRay discs?
I will still keep my current collections. I still buy CDs since i get more value  for my money. hehehe

NOTE: i only upgrade sa mga movies na talagang masasabing "flawless" ang storylines para sa aking taste.

just my two cents worth

Happy New Year!!!

Me too! :)

There are some movies that haven't been uploaded yet, or have super low amount of seeders. For this, I go and buy the original. :)
