Great Blu Ray Disc Features

As Bob Dylan would say, "Times, they are a changin." It was hard to imagine that home movie viewing could get any better once the DVD replaced VHS tapes, but now Sony's Blu Ray disc player has revolutionized how we experience audio, visual and interactive features encoded onto our new DVD movies. With the Blu Ray disc technology, you can finally enjoy all the benefits of the movie theater at home, provided that you have an HD-TV, Dolby Digital Surround Sound and a comfy seat. The picture is clearer, the sound comes in 7.0, as opposed the regular 5.0, and there are more interactive features, than with a HD-DVD.

If you're looking to start your Blu Ray disc collection, then you may want to consider some of the latest Blu Ray titles to come out in this new format. The added features are expected to improve as time goes on and filmmakers create BD DVDs with the interactivity in mind, but there are a few titles that promise to impress new buyers. For instance, the Men In Black Blu Ray release has an interactive trivia game and Disney/Pixar's Cars Bluray DVD includes a "count-the-cars" game. Alien vs. Predator puts your photo into the game, allowing you to choose your character from marines, aliens or predators and play against friends.

The Blu-Ray features include games and activities, a movie showcase, a backstage special, a "making of" feature and outtakes reel. Sea movies in general should only be viewed in top-quality color and 7.0 surround sound. (Given that tidbit, you may want to add "Master and Commander" to your list too). You'll love the high def detail and impressive audio in the sci-fi classic "The Fifth Element." For action-packed brag-worthy Blu Ray disc titles, check out the "Spiderman" trilogy, "X-Men" and "Troy" to show off your new machine to guests.

The future holds some exciting possibilities for the Blu Ray disc, analysts speculate. The storage space will enable users to bookmark internet pages, unlock bonus content on the publisher's website, look up movie theater times, contribute to interactive movie blogs, and download audio or video extras.

The future holds some exciting possibilities for the Blu Ray disc, analysts speculate. The storage space will enable users to bookmark internet pages, unlock bonus content on the publisher's website, look up movie theater times, contribute to interactive movie blogs, and download audio or video extras. New play modes are likely to be facilitated, such as: animated subtitles that fade in and out, or can be scrolled, trick play modes, angle alternates and video-in-video mode, like browsing cable TV menus. Browse buttons and graphics are said to be advanced and functionality more similar to a computer or DISH Network menu than a traditional DVD menu.

Is this the death throe for the age of the stand-alone movie player? Some speculate that laptops or USB devices and downloading will be the way of the future. The Kanguru Flash Drive Max has created a toothbrush-sized USB device that holds 64 GB of storage, so perhaps further advances will allow a plug-and-play format and faster, more legit software, that can take you from your laptop to your television set in mere minutes. Another idea is that improvements will be made with the cable networks' "Movies On Demand" feature that has yet to impress.

One idea is that improvements will be made with the cable networks' "Movies On Demand" feature that has yet to impress. Right now, the prices are basically the same as a video rental, and corporate executives have overlooked the fact that many people actually enjoy going to the movie store to browse the latest releases. Not to mention that the selection of movies is nowhere near as great as Net Flix or Blockbuster Online, nor are the movies as portable. Whatever the future holds, the industry has made up its mind: the Blu Ray disc is in, so either buy it and continue stockpiling your movie collection, or be left behind!
