Blu Ray Reviews Online Help You Decide

By Nikos L Maxwell

Remember when buying a movie was as easy as saying, "Hey I liked that, so I’ll add it to my collection for $10-$20?" With the new Blu Ray HD DVD titles running you about $40, the decision is suddenly not as simple.

Consumers today are more and more concerned about getting the most bang for their buck, yet want a Blu Ray collection that can really impress. There are several sites offering comprehensive Blu Ray reviews to help you decide whether you want to buy or simply rent the next high-definition experience.

Blu Ray Reviews Online

One great site for Blu Ray reviews is the Blu-Ray.com site itself. Naturally, the ratings may be one star higher than other sites, but here you can see screenshots to get an idea of just how crisp and vivid the picture will be.

The chart at the top of the page will allow you to quickly assess the basics: the kind of video codec/resolution, how many channels of audio, what subtitles are available, how many Blu Ray discs are included, the price and user rating. You can even check out a user forum, as well as a news page that includes any updates relevant to the title you’re browsing.

If you’re getting started with a collection of Blu Ray titles, then there are some top-sellers you should be aware of, according to Blu-Ray.com’s Blu Ray reviews. Nothing is better than an action-thriller in high-definition Blu Ray format.

Action Thrillers On Blu Ray DVD

Some starters for your new DVD collection include: 300, Alien vs. Predator: Requiem, I-Robot, The Fifth Element, Independence Day, Men In Black, Batman Begins, The Chronicles of Narnia, Natural Born Killers, Pan’s Labyrinth, Blade Runner, National Treasure 2, Troy, I Am Legend, Predator and Twister.

The thing you should note about Blu Ray discs right now is that they’re still in their infancy stage, so filmmakers and advertisers haven’t fully developed all the interactive features just yet. In the future, there will be games, user blogs, live chat, trivia, featurettes made exclusively for Blu Ray HD DVDs, downloadable trailers and more.

Looking For Blu Ray Players

Perhaps you haven’t purchased that fancy machine yet, so you’re looking for Blu Ray reviews that cover the various players on the market. The first thing you should understand is that Blu Ray has just recently won the format war against Toshiba/Microsoft’s HD DVD, so a lot of their vision hasn’t translated into machinery just yet.

For instance, many of the new players being manufactured as late as this summer will only be in the basic, bare bones Blu Ray 1.1 format, meaning that it won’t have the capacity to go online to get new content or play all of the interactive features, although it will still have the superior sound and audio quality that Blu Ray discs are noted for.

Blu Ray 2.0 is expected to really hit the markets as early as the fall, allowing users many neat features and the ability to sync their machine up to the internet, their cell phones and more! Buying Playstation3 is a good way to get a Blu Ray player that has the capacity to be upgraded.
