I used to think this way, but I've actually stopped renting all together, I figure the 9 bucks or so im spending to rent the bluray might as well just be put towards investing to own it.

i pay 30 bucks a month i get 4 at a time at least i can check them out before buying beacuse i was let down with the Gi joe due to the lack of special featuers blue ray and the john carpenters halloween on blu ray it just did not transfer over well yea i got it for 10 bucks but i pay 30 i can at least rent it and see if it will be worth the money to buy it the thing looked good but there where not special featuers on the blu ray at all but day and dawn of the dead looked and sounded great they would be worth a buy

You can just go to bluray.com to read user reviews before purchasing something.

and the john carpenters halloween on blu ray it just did not transfer over well yea i got it for 10 bucks but i pay 30 i can at least rent it and see if it will be worth the money to buy it the thing looked good but there where not special featuers on the blu ray at all but day and dawn of the dead looked and sounded great they would be worth a buy

You have it backwards.. Dawn & Day Of the Dead have lackluster transfers. Halloween has one of the better ones out there. It's the best I've ever seen that film look.

Watched Hellboy II last night. Talk about great PQ & Audio. Very awesome..

Heard that the Near Dark Blu-Ray isn't much of an upgrade over the DVD which is a shame since I was planning to get it. I guess I'll just hold on to my SE.

It really is a good 'un.

The live action Blood: The Last Vampire looks and sounds great on Blu-Ray. It's just too bad about the crappy CG and shoddy wire work during the fight scenes.

That's what I do...I don't like to invest money in renting because in the case that I buy something, I've actually ended up paying more for it then. It's easy to tell if the complaints in a review are the type of things I would complain about or not.

i agree...the rest of the dead flicks have some of the best transfers out there, so i don't know what the hell happened with these two. i think it's because they came out fairly early in the life of bluray technology. ...but then again, so did halloween.
