I only own six or seven movies - Gladiator, the LOTR and Star Wars movies, A League of Their Own, Pretty Woman (the Wife's) and now Princess Bride.

I'm waiting until something REALLY good comes out technology-wise. Then I'll invest some $$$ in movies.

Well, film is typically 4000x3000 pixels, as a source...

HD will only be 1920x1080

So, there will be a long wait for TV catch all that film has to offer.

what's the difference between the DP and the BC editions? Should I eBay my current one and get one of the new ones?

a few of the same things but more stuff on the new ones. i find with special editions, for me atleast, it's just about having the newest version. most of the time i never even watch the extras. if there is a new version released my ocd kicks in and i have to have it. same thing with widescreen.it's pretty much widescreen or i don't buy it unless i really like the movie. most people could care less.

yeah, i here ya. the worst is when it's a directors cut with extra footage or a re-release with DTS (i love me some DTS). i've purposely held off on buying Kill Bill on DVD becasue there's some uber-edition in the works...possibly

i dont know, it seems alot of them just have the reagular dolby 5.1...maybe more of the newer ones have DTS tracks. DTS just seems so much louder and crisper to me
