It cost me $70. I then upgraded my Netflix account to BluRay for $2 a month. I can't imagine a cheaper way to enjoy the technology. I don't buy DVDs and and I don't plan to by BluRay discs.

I have bought some dvds -- just ones I thought I would watch repeatedly. Turns out that I barely watch most and I am more likely to watch the show on tv than on dvd. I don't know if there is some defective human gene that won't allow me to enjoy my dvd collection. (there are a few that I watch several times -- especially Band of Brothers which is brilliant and very watchable).

  When I got my Laserdisc player I started collecting but found, after a year or so, that I never played most of them more than once. Eventually, I gave away the player and the collection.
  
  So, when I got a DVD player and, more recently, BluRay, I only rent movies. Music, opera, ballet is a different story.

    Someday, either here, Audiogon, or Stereophile, would you provide a list of the Blu-ray opera discs you own or recommend? I'd value your recommendation as a guide for my own acquisitions.

      to put it into the column but something always seems to squeeze it out. Since the column is only bimonthly, it is hard to defer the equipment but, mebbe, I will bump the SACDs for BluRay next time around.
