Don't You Just Love Those Regular DVDs That Advertise Blu-Ray?

Seems like they are on every regular DVD rental these days.

The advertisements feature all this sharp sound and crisp picture, suggesting you only get that high quality if you buy Blu-Ray -- except, that's regular DVD quality at work there! What you are seeing/hearing is what you already got! Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to see/hear it!

They may as well just come out and say: "You don't really need Blu-Ray, because the status quo is just fine."

Some of these advertisers never cease to amaze me...

copy. I understand the computer copy and one or the other type of disk, but what am I going to do with the extra disk? Put it with my legacy AOL collection?

First thing I do with any DVD I get is rip it to the hard drive on my HTPC so that I don't have to have a giant stack of DVDs to look through.
