Disney's Sleeping Beauty on Bluray

[Mrh182]

I didn't see a topic for this... so thought I'd create one...

Anyone here with a bluray player pick up Sleeping Beauty yet??

Two words that came to mind when watching it were "Holy S***!"

For an animated movie that is 50 years old, I don't think I've ever seen any form of animation looks so incredible.

I had my share of doubt with it looking any different then a standard DVD, but the details in the movie were so amazing it was as if it had been drawn yesterday.

Anyone else have any thoughts?

Between that and The Godfather Trilogy rerelease, I am tempted to get a Blu-Ray player.

I haven't gotten a player yet, but this is definitely one I'll be getting when I get one.

Go buy it now. Disney realizes that not everyone has a Blu-ray player so you get the two disc Blu-ray edition and they include a standard DVD version so you can watch it until you get a player. Pretty cool.

Get a PS3...

I agree get a PS3.. thats what I'm using as well.. it's great with the built in wifi so everytime the player needs updates, or the dvd's need updates.. there are no problems at all

PS... if you want to see some comparison shots of the bluray vs the platinum.. check out this review:

I got this on Amazon and it is en route. I need to sell the 2 disc version I already have.

Use Amazon seller. I just sold a bunch of DVDs and got top dollar. Just undercut the top "used" listing by a nickle or so and you'll get listed on top.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

I did this. I undercut the used price by a quarter. It is a bit more than I was offered at a used site.

Hopefully it sells in the next couple of days.

It will.

I was just at the store and was watching sleeping beauty on two screens side by side. One was on a regular DVD with an upconverting player on an HDTV.

The other was on a blu-ray with an HDTV.

The difference was minimal really IMO.

You can't see the difference between these two?

Blu-Ray players are rapidly nearing the mass adoption price point. I picked up the Sony BD-350 clone at Costco for $279 and it came with an HDMI cable. It is BD Live Ready and comes with a remote. Rumor has it there will be a Samsung on Black Friday at Ultimate for $150 and others out there for $99. The Sony BD-300 is at some Circuit City's for $200.

Absolutely. But it is minimal IMHO. Also do you know if that first pick is upconverted?

They claim that it is. They did not discuss the player that they used to do the upconversion though. They are also using the Platinum Edition disc, not the 2 disc version that was released a few years ago.

If most people only see a minimal difference, it will take a while for this format to take off.

$100 players will definitely bring more consumers into the market. I'm all for bringing out the best possible audio/video in our media.

Upconversion does look nice on a lot of movies. But I think older movies look absolutely fantastic on Blu. Halloween and Close Encounters to name a few. Pixar movies are awesome as well. I am a bit skeptical about SB but I'll probably get it anyway. Anyone get the Godfather yet?

I decided to get Heroes and Smallville instead. Godfather is my next major Blu purchase.
