    So, I'm not buying it. They are. They should eat the cost not me.
    "Eating the cost" is not a very profitable business strategy.

    I know your entitled to not paying more for what they have to pay more for. How dare they.

    Duke, there is no business in the world that does not pass their increased costs on to the consumer. Why the heck would you think they should eat those costs?

    If they're buying Blu-ray they're buying in bulk- they're not paying $30 a blu-ray that we the consumer are. I don't think we should pay any more for a blu-ray; maybe only have 1 out at a time? But $3 more???

    Maybe I'm underestimating how much of an increase it actually is. I hope that $3 goes down over time.

    But it is per month, not per Blu-ray. You could potentially rent as many Blu-ray's in a month as possible under your plan. It would still only be a $3 increase, so if you got say, 8 in one month, that's really only about 38 cents more for each.

    I know but most of the time I don't really care about the Blu-ray features, I only want regular DVDs. On top of the fact that most movies don't even have a Blu-ray release yet. So if I'm still asking for the same number of movies (8), maybe only 1 of those is a Blu-ray.

    edit: My complaint isn't rational I know, I'm just being cheap.

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    It's... automatic. You search for any movie and if it's available on HD, it'll try to play on HD.

    They might actually be paying more. While the practice has gone down in recent years with day-and-date releases of DVDs to the consumer and rental markets, it was not unheard of a few years ago for a rental place to pay over $100 a copy for popular movies to rent.

    When I was co-manager of the video dept. at Tower Records we constantly had to explain to this to customers when they lost something.

    It's probably different now, though.

    Also, as a business I'm sure NF would like to make a few more dollars on early adopters. Early adopters always pay more for the technology.

    It's not really that early still is it? I got my first blu-ray player in 2006.... my first HD DVD player in 2005... Blu-rays are coming down in price faster than DVD did.

    Given that Emma, Lady Hamilton, had a perfectly fascinating life and was (by all accounts) a complex and interesting person, she deserves better than That Hamilton Woman. Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh fail to elevate the material, which plays out as a pandering, preachy, impossible romance, along the lines of Now, Voyager, which I also hated.

    Blah.
    ...and the milk's in me.

    I've never seen anything quite like Shadows. Also surprising to see it was entirely improved.

    Recently rewatched Tekkonkinkreet. One of my all-time favorite movies. Profound, beautiful, moving...truly a work of art. This is true adult animation - mature and powerful.

    My favorite is on the HK version of Andrew Lau's A Man Called Hero, the synopsis beings, "What had happened was..."

    Hilarious.

    I don't mind paying a bit more for bluray, but their 'long waits' drive me batty. Had The Road at the top of my list before it was released, and only got it last week. That sucks. I know they're more in demand when they're released, but its still annoying.

    Hell House made me so angry I had to turn it off, so I think either will do the job.

    They are both worth watching. I like Hell House. It's like a live-action Chick Tract.

    You should watch Faces next if you haven't already.

    I'm paying $4 extra for blu-rays - you guys only pay $3 more?
