RE: Which B-D movies take advantage of the higher capacity?

Posted by Larry I on August 21, 2007 at 06:33:00:
Both formats have way more than enough capacity so B-D's advantage is largely hypothetical. One other consideration is that B-D discs are easier to damage physically.

Still, this is just another format war based on licensing dollars. I am probably going to sit on the side for a while, at least until a respectable universal player comes to the market.

I can barely stand the thought of putting more dollars into the Sony coffers (owned an SCD-1, have a Qualia RPTV that took three months for Sony to supply a replacement bulb).
