She did her research on the kind of TV to buy that works the best with it and she has a pretty rocking theater system. They're expensive though, usually a good $5 more than regular DVDs of new movies and I haven't seen cheap Blu-Ray movies out yet. That bites that they are pushing this just when DVDs get reasonably cheap. As it is, I won't buy Disney movies because of their stupid vault thing that keeps their movies insanely expensive, now they're going to push a format that's considerably more expensive than the rest of the pack? Blah. Maybe I should look into that laptop with the Blu-Ray DVD player on it but, considering the luck I had with the LAST computer (hard drive died after only having it a year and a half), it would die before I had a chance to get any Blu-Ray movies. Technology is quickly leaving people behind, that's for sure. I'm really frustrated right now with the fact that the two HD TVs that I have watched shows on have been really bad as far as closed captioning goes. It doesn't work. That's just not cool at all. *sigh* Oh well, it's probably going to be another year or two before we even get back to the US. My friend has Blu-Ray and the movies look really good.
