Default blu -ray blues

After many a year moaning about not seeing the attraction in blu rays, i have relented and bought a player arrow is partially to blame. You see as mad as it may sound i am not bothered about h-d picture quality i bought one for blu -ray extras, frankenhooker is one of my favourite films and arrow's forthcoming release is packed full of extras, same case with grindhouse blu ray , stuff you wont see on region 2 dvd, so i feel slightly begrudging i have to get a new player to see these treats. i have hundreds of dvds and dont feel the need to replace em with blus which is quite lucky as most blus i have seen in shops have naff all extras. I Will pick the dvd option pretty much everytime if blu ray has nothing exsclusive on it, in fact the only blus i can really see myself investing in are arrow titles . Moaning out the way does any one have any blu ray recomendations for me bearing in mind i like my extras?

Check out the Alien Anthology BD set, there's more extras on there than you can shake a stick at.

On some of the Blu Underground BDs you'll also find exclusive extras. And you obviously already know about the Arrow Blus.

Cool

That's one of the most logical reasons to buy BLU, also my player upscales sd better than any dvd player I've had, think of it as giving yourself more options when buying films, but I hear ya. I buy about 5 dvd for every Blu.

You can get a Toshiba BDX1200 from Currys for £50 and put on the region free firmware. Region free for BD and DVD.
