I'll just buy the 20th Anniversy edition and get the rights to play Dragons Lair 1/2 and Space Ace in Daphne.

Why in the world spend hundreds of dollars for Blu Ray and then this game?

I'd think it'd be better to buy a Wii...

I guess if you already spent a decent chunk of change on an HDTV then you'd know the answer to that (well, assuming you also enjoyed Dragon's Lair and had a desire to play it in HD). Is the transfer supposed to really be THAT amazing? I may check it out if Netflix carried it for whatever reason, but I couldn't see myself buying it.

Hell, blu-ray discs in general are way too fucking expensive. They're part of the reason I signed up for Netfix (and I fucking LOVE it). Hmmm, $35 for a single movie or $13 a month to get unlimited rentals of any two movies at a time each month? Hmm....

...but yea, if you don't have an HDTV AND you're not interested in the franchises that are on 360 and PS3 (or don't mind getting extremely weak ports of games from other platforms) AND really dig Nintendo's first party games....then yea, I can totally see getting a Wii.

After buying an HDTV, it just seems silly to stick to only watching DVDs on it and playing 480i/p games on it. Hell, even HD cable blows because most HD channels crop 2.35:1 movies down to 16:9 instead of showing them full aspect (sure, it's better than going down to 4:3....but still...). But hey, some people buy HDTVs and subscribe to HD cable just for Discovery Sunrise. Some people buy HDTVs, don't buy cable and then buy Wiis... but then don't bother to shell out the extra cash for component cables or even svideo cables.

People are weird.

Oh, and the Battlestar Galactica series needs to come out on Blu-Ray, too. I caught a few reruns of season 1 on UniversalHD and I...I peed a little. I wouldn't even Netflix the season, I'd buy it outright and donate my DVDs of Season 1 to the library or something.

Correct, I don't have an HDTV, nor the interest in getting one soon, and I'm more interested in upgrading my PC.

I didn't think the DVD version of Dragon's Lair was that bad?

Again, I haven't seen any BluRay/HDTV games that have wowed me enough to spend $600-$1000 for the player and $500-$3000 for the HDTV, I'll be happy with a SDTV and a Wii...

I also play more games on my PC than console/TV, it's just a personal choice...
