It is the main reason I recently purchased a PlayStation 3 and a new 1080p HD television.

I want to say another thing about Blu-Ray in general and Firefly specifically. This is something that should be a personal decision since the players and tvs are not cheap (although coming down in price all the time). I've never been one who has had to have all the latest tech gadgets, but I'm a big tv and movie buff so for me it was an easy decision to make.

I don't think it really matters what format of video you have or how good the resolution of your tv is, Firefly is still the greatest thing out there, but mainly for the story and the characters. I've watched Serenity (the pilot) twice in the past couple of weeks, the Blu-Ray version, on both my older 720p set and now my new 1080. This also happens to be at least the 25th time I've seen it, and it is still as compelling as ever, but I think I would feel the same way if I was watching my old VHS tapes recorded off the Sci-Fi Channel.

It's a CONSPIRACY!!!! They don't bother transferring movies well onto DVD any more to try to get us to buy Blu-Ray!!!!
Isn't that it??

Remember Superbit? Now there was an idea. My Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon still ranks as one of the best looking discs I own. Even better than most of my Blu-Ray discs.

Plus, my T2 Extreme Edition looks virtually as good as Blu-Ray if the write-ups are correct, certainly, it's the best looking DVD I own! They can trick out standard, it just makes 'em more money to upgrade the hardware.
