What do you like best about Blu ray?

Question

(Other than the picture.) Does you player have interactive features, etc.?

Answer 1

I agree with the above poster.  Of course the picture is amazing when paired with a 1080p TV.  But the sound adds so much more to the movie as well.  I used to have a 5.1 receiver that would only play Dolby Digital and DTS which is fine for standard DVD's but only blu-ray DVDs play Dolby True-HD and DTS-HD MA.  Just got a new Onkyo receiver that plays True-HD and DTS-HD MA and 7.1 sound.  Wow, didn't realize what I was missing.  I went back and watched a bunch of movies over again and it's a whole new experience!

Answer 2

Well as stated, the pictures is amazing, but what some people don't realize is that if you have the right setup, you can also access the new High Definition Sound codecs; Dolby TruHD and DTS-MA (Master Audio) which is incredible! It sounds so good and crips and crystal clear! I also like that you can navigate screens without interrupting your movie. Also, if you have a BD-LIVE 2.0 profile Blu-ray player (currently only PS3 is capable) you can access the internet, and play games with other people watching the movie at the same time! GREAT STUFF! From a computer world standpoint, the HUGE difference in storage capacity from 4.7GB to up to 50GB for a blu-ray is great. Overall, it's just an amazing format really.
