No Audio Commentary?
Ciniexplore IS the commentary. its better actually because you get concept art popping up (if you want) to help but what their talking about into context.
sad face I always hate it when they ignore the DVD version and put all the extras on Blu-Ray. Remember when Pixar DVDs actually had a lot of special features? Like Monsters, Inc. or Finding Nemo. The only recent Pixar movie with a lot of special features was the Wall-E 3 disc edition, but even then the blu-ray version still had more! Also, why donât Pixar movies have different languages anymore? Itâs not a huge problem, but I can never bring a Pixar movie to, say, Spanish class anymore because of this. They went from having some languages (Toy Story), to only having subtitles (Finding Nemo), to having only English (everything else after that). Lastly, hardcore fans have already seem most of these features, and the average movie-goer usually wouldnât care about them anyway.
Whatever, at least I get to own one of my new favorite movies this year, and with a new Cars 2 trailer. Iâll probably buy the 3-movie boxed set since my Toy Story 2 disc is broken.
Movie: A+
DVD Cover Art: B-
DVD Features: C+
Excellent! Iâve only recently purchased a Blu-Ray player so Iâm not familiar with the new terms for some of the special features Love the commentary for the first 2 films.
I believe itâs being bundled with the Cars Toons Vol. 1 DVD
If you truly love special features, you should have gone Blu by now. Youâve had 4 years.
Some people canât afford a blu-ray machine especially how the economy is nowadays. Plus blu-ray discs are more expensive than DVDs,
Itâs expensive. Plus, replacing as many DVDs as my family has is impossible for people in our situation. DVD should offer just as good or blu-rays should be cheaper. Like you said, 4 years. Thatâs long enough for each disc not to cost $30.
Why is there so much more extra features on the Blu ray? Does the Blu Ray hold more information, or is it a way to try to switch people to start buying Blu Rays instead of DVDs?
Both.
Blu rays costs have come down. TS3 is listed on amazon right now for about 25 bucks, Free shipping.
amazon.com/Toy-Story-Blu-ray ⊠242&sr=8-2
Usually if you buy them the first week er so they release you get better deals. thereâs even better deals come November. Normally Iâd assume there would be a great deal if you bought TS3 and Finding Nemo together this year, but alas, that has been delayed. (grrrrrrr). I guess they might replace it with Car-toons. but anywhoâŠ
Blu rays themselves are reasonably priced, you just have to know where to buy.
As for the players and tvs, they have come down a lot in the past 3 years. A 32 inch vizio can be had at $450.
And there are 80 dollar blu ray players if you look hard enough. Also, donât be afraid of buying refurbished hardware, I was about to cut the price of my 50 inch Samsung TV in half that way. Both my TV and Blu-ray player are refurbs, they work great and we saved a lot.
I know your not in the US, so Iâm not sure what these prices translate to for you, but at these prices I think more people need to get with the program. even if your getting the bare minimal. I still need a decent sound system myselfâŠ
Its not like you have to replace your whole collection at once. just do a little at a time. its not like your dvds wonât play on blu ray players. just buy a blu ray you like every now and then for movies you really like. Buy the combo packs when you can so that you can use the dvds in other parts of the house, assuming you have other tvs and dvd players in the house, or like to take them to a friends house or something.
if you feel like your being left in the dust already, its only going to get worse. Studios have less and less incentive to put any effort into dvds as time passes, its really only meant for casual movie watchers these days, Soccer moms, not anyone who really enjoys special features.
Iâll be honest I was never going to bother, I only converted to Blu Ray because my PS2 packed in and so I killed two birds with one stone by buying a PS3 but Iâm surprised people are saying itâs still too expensive. I saw a sony Blu Ray player on amazon the other day for just over a hundred dollars!!! Upgrading your favourite DVDâs neednât cost the earth either, I put my Pixar and Disney dvds on ebay and I was surprised at the prices they fetched. In the end, upgrading them has cost me very little.
Blu-Ray players can play the DVD as well, you know.
Ciniexplore IS the commentary. its better actually because you get concept art popping up (if you want) to help but what their talking about into context.
You mean like the Visual Commentary on the Finding Nemo DVD? That should be interesting.
hmmâŠsometimes i think it goes to fast, finally replaced all te videos for DVD comes Blue-Ray and whats next? 3D DVDâs
A little bit more insight into the bonus features. Iâm so happy thereâs a second commentary track!
Why is there so much more extra features on the Blu ray? Does the Blu Ray hold more information, or is it a way to try to switch people to start buying Blu Rays instead of DVDs?
Blu rays hold alot more data than DVDs. Bluray discs can hold 25GB- 50GB of data where as a dual layer DVD holds about 9GB
But for the full experience it does come out to be costly. Youâll need a full HD 1080p TV and an HDMI cable, but you can really tell the difference. The image doesnât lose its sharpness at all. Cheapest way around a blu ray player is with a Playstation 3 as you get a console extra.
The important thing with blu ray players is to get a Sony model as Sony BR players are the only ones that update, where as others donât. Updates for example would be the support of blu ray live or 3D blu rays.
I donât know how much blu rays are in the states, but in the UK, DVD prices have dropped and blu rays have replaced the old DVD prices. so ÂŁ13 for a bluray, although some can cost up to ÂŁ25, but they tend to be films you wouldnât buy anyway!
I think DVDs are slowly getting replaced, but once you see blu ray, a DVD will never look as good as it once did. Unless you watch Terminator 3, the transfer was pants on that. The film quality was grainy and the CGI stood out with bland colours
I donât think it can be beaten, unless there will be something called a Virtual disc. Virtual reality films, but it will be years before we see that kind or advanced technology
Well, there is the 3DS, which Iâm sure is the precursor to that kind of thing. no glasses 3d is a huge step in the right direction. and I think Disney is already working with Nintendo to make their movies available. Iâll have to double check but I think Tangled and Toy Story 3 might be in the pipeline to be released for the system. (as in the movies, not games)
Now we just need them to expand on the 3DS and make full sized TV sets with this technology. I hear its possible, their just trying to make it âsweet spotâ less, which has been a real challenge. its fine for a portable personal player where you can adjust it to the angle you need, but itâs a problem for multiple viewers watching at the same time.
