All good.

Now just go get a PS3.

Anyone pick up any movies at fry's yesterday? Some good titles for $16.99. I got Tropic Thunder since I have all the other ones that were on sale.

Fry's and Amazon are the best places to buy Blu's.
 
^^..nbaw son i aint got that much money to buy a ps3 when i already got a 360...im not really a movie head.
 
I just picked up Gangs of New York at Circuit City for $20.

Its prob not going to look any different but I <3 this movie.
 
Been itchin to get a blu-ray player.
Got the 360 and 52" 1080p samsung lcd, just need some surround and blu-ray, most likely a ps3.
 
I don't see much of a difference at all at normal viewing distance watching an upscaled DVD vs. a Blu-Ray. I mean if I walk up to the TV like in the store,yea, but from normal viewing distance I don't notice much of a difference. This is with a 50 inch.
 
My Blu-Ray player has been on back order since late December

Appaloosa is good, but 3:10 to Yuma is MUCH better

Are there any good movies for under $20? I really don't feel like dishing out more than $20

Has a lot to do with the capabilites of the player. Decoding DTS, 7.1, BD Live, Ethernet, etc.

Unless you have your own home theater in your house, and just want a SA just to watch movies like any average person, the $150 will be more than enough. Iassume you are looking at an Olevia or Insignia tho.

I would spend a few more bucks and get a BDP-S350.

Check Amazon, Fry's, and Best Buy.

Tons of blockbusters from the past few years are less than $20.

Eagle Eye, Transformers, Tropic Thunder, Iron Man, all kinds of others.
 
also check out avsforum.com.....they got a blu-ray section with a sales thread that has all the sales on movies.....but yeah Amazon has some cheap blurays....also if anyone has a Movie Stop near them....I went yesterday and they had a bunch of cheap ones
 
Sorry to stray a little bit off topic here guys but quick ? for ya'll with PS3 Blu players, Every once in a while when im watching a movie, it seems likethere is a lagging in the frames, movements seem slower, but the sound isn't affected. Is this the PS3 or is it my HDTV?
