i'm thinkin' in getting one Blu-Ray for my PC and i wanna hear some experiences of people who actually have this technology already.
about porn, do you get more horny with a Blu-Ray than with DVD?
Umm.. I'm not sure how to answer that, really. If you mean high definition translating to a better nut, sure. It always helps to actually see beauty upclose. or clearly see the slickness on her lips. Upstairs or down. Your choice.
But as far as that goes.. man, you have all the tools you need right in front of you. Check this:

Scroll down and look for the WMV-HD link. Compare the two on your computer screen and see for yourself. Matter'o fact.. while BluRay is certainly a nice thing to have if you're decked out with surround sound and an HDTV.. you dont even need it. Just have a halfway decent comp and download high def porn. Get a codec pack like.. ::checks what I have:: Ace Mega Codec pack.. and just buy a subscription to a site like that one. High Def yumminess without spending hundreds on a new piece of tech.
Unless you really like blasting porn thru your surround system.

My new laptop has Blu-Ray and a Full HD screen...Its awesome! I love it!
But I dont have that much experience with HD Porn yet.
Non Porn movies and especially animated movies are so "HOT" on Blu-Ray and with Full HD!

I just got a HD-DVD player with 2 movies for £25... Fuck blu-ray!
I know HD-DVD is extinct, but there are still 100's of titles at there, and they're all aabout a third of the price of blu-ray.

i recently bought a PS3 and have it hooked up to a 720p HDTV. i only bought two movies so far (stargate and no country for old men), and while i liked both films i have to say two things about this HD stuff:
1- older films resampled in HD will not look that good. in stargate (1994) there are special effects shots hat will make you say wow, but there are other scenes where everything is rather grainy. if you want HD, stick with movies that were made after 2007 or so.
2- the difference in picture and sound quality of bluray vs DVD is not nearly as much as it was between DVD and VHS. it is a nice improvement, but at the prices they charge right now for a bluray title (compared to the same film on DVD), i must say that it's not yet worth it. a nice bonus for me (due to the drive being in the PS3), but i would not have invested in a PC drive just yet.
unfortunately there is no incentive for sony to lower prices anytime soon (not after the defeat of HDTV anyway), so if i were you i'd wait til january or so (when all the post-christmas sales are on). also, keep an eye out on tech sites like anandtech.com, they review new stuff when it comes out and that then usually pushes prices down a bit.

PS3 is the way to go or blu-ray -- you get firmware updates as part of the OS, and a pretty good gaming system to boot.
Blu-ray is 1080, so you really can't appreciate it unless your TV goes to that resolution. Older films look better than they'll look anywhere else, but depending on the way the film was shot, you really can't tell much difference between blu-ray and upsampled DVDs -- which all the blu-ray players do. Some older films -- The Searchers was shot in super-clear VistaVision back in the day -- are just eye-popping in 1080.
Bit it's true that any PC with a decent graphic package can play 1080, if you can get the data onto the system.

what's the difference between Blu-Ray and normal DVD??
Resolution is higher. Even at it's lowest resolution, the difference in bitrate.. or.. how much data.. or think of it as *quality* is being pushed to the screen will be higher in both video and audio. DVD used mpeg2, BluRay uses H.264 or basically an mpeg4 variant.
All codec progress basically tried to keep the quality consistent while lowering the overall bitrate to allow for a less-is-more kinda deal. Imagine a 4 lane highway filled with traffic. Mpeg2 is akin to 4 lanes of cadillacs while h.264 is 4 lanes of mini coopers. You can fit more into the same space. Yeah. ::scratches head:: I hope that isnt confusing, cuz that's the simple version.
DVD movies are stored on discs capable of holding about 8 gigabytes. BluRay movies have about 50 gigabytes to work with. On a sidenote, because of the difference in how the menu is conveyed to you on BluRay as opposed to DVD.. (dvd simply played mpeg2 movie clips in the background for each possible scene or option selected. BluRay uses java to bring you menu options so a negligible amount of space is saved 'cuz it doesnt *have* to include intro/outro versions of each menu choice. Not that DVD manufacturers really had to go to such extremes while animating their dvd menus.. but.. ::shrug:: They waste plenty of space with soundtracks and repeating background clips. Just thought I'd mention it.)
Pretty much every station/channel is broadcasting in h.264 now, I believe. Cable, satellite.. iTunes.. YouTube.. probably half the cell phones out there support it these days. Not the same resolution or bitrate, a'course.. but it's a step in the right direction, regardless. So rest assured that the BluRay codec isnt going to be a proprietary relic a few years from now. It's widely accepted.
Oh, and the disc is slightly blue. Feels thinner, lighter. Bends a bit easier and is a lil more transparent than DVD or CD.
That's something I've noticed on my own, soo.. that might just be in my head but it does feel lighter and sorta flimsy. But so did those unbreakable plastic combs during picture day in school. I tell ya, plastics are interesting things.

"the bluray codec" is actually just part of MPEG4, that is why everyone is using it, and why it will be around for a long time. technically bluray is compatible with other technology as well, but h.264 is just the most widely used. for more info and a quick comparison of features:

heh... I just said that, but differently.
Unless you want to talk about all the different mpeg4 codecs and what your personal favorite is.
Big fan of Blu-ray, I own 145 Blu-ray movies (no porn though) which I watch on a 1080p Sony LCD and they look fantastic.
You must be rich
That's not what it says above your avatar! :1orglaugh
Back in the days of yore.. 2007.. I went over to Frys Elec's and bought their nicest PC monitor. Sadly, it doesnt do a hardware downscale for 1080 i/p but PC games are kickass at the widescreen res 1680x1050.
My PS3 wont let me choose 1680, tho. 12x7 isnt the best resolution, but in case my television dies.. (as all things made in china do.) I'll have my backup ready in a flash.
I saw the original Sunny Leone hardcore on DVD, then on Blue-Ray. Take my word, I will never touch oridinar porn again, HD all the way (unless i'm desperate)
