Zenpai Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Title says it all. I personally used to prefer DVD, but shortly after acquiring an HDTV for my bedroom, I decided Blu-Ray was more future-proof. That and after Blu-Ray 3D came onto the market, regular Blu-Rays got cheaper, so... Not that the PS3 can't upscale DVD on a 32'' TV just fine, though. What about you guys?

Avatar_Of_Battle Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 For me it used to depend on the movie I was buying. For stuff like American Pie or movies that do not rely heavily on CGI I would go with DVD. But now I just go with Blu-ray for everything since I have a PS3 and I use it for everything. Games, movies, and even threw all of my ipod's music on to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dav9834 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Bluray, unless it wasn't natively shot in 1080. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markcavan Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Digital all the way nowadays... way too many disks (DVD Blu-Ray) so moved everything digital. 8 TB external sata drive hooked up to a plex media server running on linux and can stream all over the house. Torrent and download everything in high quality 720p or 1080p depending on the quality I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juzota Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 VHS master race! I guess I prefer Blu-rays nowadays, but I don't really care what kind of format I'm using. Anything goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xSuspicious Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Blu-ray always. They just look nicer on the shelves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theJJ88 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Lately I've been using digital to check out series or to watch them before retail publishing. Bluray first if there's one available, but if there's only dvd available I don't mind. Anything goes as long as I can watch a movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brawler Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I think "streaming" should be an option as well. Most of my tv and movies I watch are via Netflix or Crunchyroll. If we're strictly talking about buying them, chances are I would look for the BluRay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neputyunu Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Depends... Im buying movies on BluRay, because of the quality and because they are yours then. Netflix-offers, and similars, are not always the same, so Its possible that Im unable to watch a specific movie when I want to watch it. Also, there is always the chance that you have no internet for some weeks and when I would be one of these guys that are using just digital stuff, then I would have NOTHING for this time. Shows from TV are too expensive as disc imo... Im streaming them. And Anime... well, in my region nobody is "seriously" offering Anime anyway (I refuse to support the overprotective german censorship and superbad voiceacting)... so, fansubs all the way So I would say BluRay and Streaming, if the question-setup would have had allowed me that.

Zenpai Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 Poll has been edited for clarity. (I myself also watch a lot of shows through streaming and fansubs, but my original intent was to ask which format people prefer when buying their media).

Venocide Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Blu Ray! I've been slowly replacing my DVD collection with Blu Ray's over the years, plus I like to have a physical copy of all my movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanzoadam Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Blu ray, If I'm gonna pay to watch something I'd prefer a physical copy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savageamusement Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Blu-ray if its worth the upgrade from DVD (from a HD source) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcbeanstr Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Definitely blu-ray. I must increase my library but I will also have to get a special gaming/blu ray/nerd loot cabinet for all of that stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotAFoxAnymore Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Blu-ray as I'd rather own a physical copy than a digital license, and Blu-ray is of a higher quality than DVD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I occassionally partake in them. Digital - By conventional/orthodox means, nah. I don't want to wait for a movie to download in order to watch it nor do I want it taking up room on my harddrive. Again though, when throwing convention out of the window, its all good (someone here is bound get what I'm saying ) Streaming - Its an ok option, but I absolutely hate the idea of this being the primary medium of any form of entertainment in the future. I like to own whatever it is I pay for...movies, music, games, etc. I also hate the idea of this and Red Box replacing the movie store. NOTHING beats the experience and array of options as the movie store did. I feel sorry for you kids...

I'm just old fashion...I don't need any bells and whistles just to watch something and as long as I can see what's going on, I'm good. DVD is still a perfectly acceptable viewing option. With the PS3 and X360's upscaling capabilities, as long as your TV isn't very big (under 32'') and/or you're not sitting too close to it, you'll barely notice the difference. Personally, I just started getting Blu-Ray for the pristine video quality, being more future-proof and no longer being that much more expensive than DVD now that we have Blu-Ray 3D; but I still have no problem watching my old DVDs.

Feral Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 DVD because that way anyone in the family can watch them. Rather than me having to set up the PS3 or my dvd player for whoever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
