What is the big deal with blue-ray?

Question

what is it i mean it is just like watching movies on a DVD so why go crazy for blue-ray i own a PS3 poped in Spider-Man 3 and when i saw it it was just like a normal DVD so why do people make a big deal with blue-ray

Answer 1

Nobody I know has one. Suposenly its make the pictures "more real" and all that stuff. The consule is really big and I dont really like it. I wouldnt buy it.

Answer 2

Nothing, I've seen them and they look the same as a DVD.

Answer 3

It allows for a more detailed picture and full spectrum audio.

This allows movie companies to add additional angles, behind the scenes, more audio commentary and even the entire music score.

Blu-Ray uses a blue laser which is more expensive to make but has a thinner beam of light than the traditional red laser systems for CD and DVD.

You can place a few DVDs on 1 Blu-Ray disc because the thinner beam of light write more data in the same space.

This also gives the movie industry more control of their copyrighted material. Blu-Ray has a very complex and expensive encryption system that prevents video or audio from being copied using known methods of cracking the security systems found in most DVDs.

Answer 4

Well, if you dont have an HDTV you wont see any difference.

If you do have an HDTV - try watching the standard def CBS channel one night, then switch to the HD version.  There is a HUGE difference because HD has a lot more information per screen of video.

Standard DVD is standard def. BluRay is high def.  There is a huge difference in image quality.

If you dont see it, you likely have not setup your system correctly.
