imho, ppl go for Blu-ray its because ppl want maximum PQ/AQ on their HT setup

if u can "compromise" the PQ/AQ and settle for a BDR, why dont straight go for high quality rips. (even save more $)

lets compare :

BDR
Pros = Cheap?
Cons = Altered contents, compressed PQ/AQ, substandard disc quality, "illegal" property

Original BD
Pros = Original contents, Extra contents (Bonus features, BD-Live, Digital Copy, etc), maximum PQ/AQ, better disc quality, better packaging, Legal property
Cons = Pricier than BDR?

at the end of the day, its all about cost/$$ (personal preference and choice)

what happen if u can purchase original BD at the price of BDR? will u still choose BDR?

i think majority ppl r using entry level equipments to watch Blu-ray (not many can afford high-end stuff)

if u cant differentiate BD/BDR's PQ/AQ... its fine...you may stick to BDR, but u cant deny in overall, original BD will give u the ultimate Blu-ray experience. something you will appreciate more rather than a piece of disc

besides that, original BD will have resale value...(BDR, i dont think so..illegal so sell)

hey, DVD also uses 101010 data info

so DVD = BD ?
