Press Release Blu-ray’s new attack on HD DVD: 5 movie freebies The Blu-ray Disc Association has announced a free movie promo meant to drive … I think a Sony UBP-X800 or a Samsung UBD-K8500 HDR UHD Blu-ray Disc Player might be in the works for Christmas! It would so cool in their so modern Italian designer living room.
Also, with the introduction of Ultra HD Blu-ray, video and audio quality of home theater experience are elevated further. A Blu-ray player not only plays Blu-ray discs, but also play DVDs and CDs, and most can also stream content from the internet, as well as from local PCs and media servers. Blu-ray players (AKA Blu-ray disc players) should be an integral part of the home theater experience. But I am determined to introduce my parents to Blu-ray and I plan to do it by appealing to their love of classical music.
My mother responded as if everyone should know, "You weren't aware that they now use Baclofen to treat alcohol abuse?" Turns out that it stops the craving for alcohol and is therefore very effective in stopping the urge to drink - little did I know! This is an obscure drug! But Blu-Ray? I actually thought EVERYONE knew what that was since it is a very common video disk standard and we even have some disks next to the tv. I never heard of Baclofen until I saw a prescription for it in our medicine cabinet and asked. And because they were central to helping my brother recover from a year long bout of alcoholism, they are very familiar with certain obscure therapies. When I tried to explain that a Blu-Ray disc was one of the two major High Definition disc formats (the other being HD-DVD) that were introduced to consumers in 2006, or that is was designed to supersede the DVD format, (by 2008 HD-DVD was officially discontinued, leaving Blu-ray as the "king of the hill" as the high-definition disc alternative to DVD) and is capable of storing several hours of video in high-definition and ultra high-definition resolution, I get blank smiles with a "That's nice, dear." On the other hand if I were to show them a website that sells Italian designer dining tables or suggest we visit a showroom that offers a number of well known Italian furniture designers' collections they would perk up, eager to go. This site was originally created to provide special Blu-Ray limited time promos.Ĭontent is from the site's archived pages.ĪN ASIDE: My parents are collectors of fine art, admire contemporary furniture designs particularly from Italian manufacturers, travel constantly, have the most recent cell iphones, read from a kindle, yet have no idea what a Blu-ray or Blu-ray Disc is. ) as well to see if they have some special offer in addition to manufacturer offers. These offers are updated all the time, and some might have expired by the time you read this. In the UK, a current offer (valid until end of March 2008) is available where if you purchase a Sony Blu-ray player, you get both the Spider-Man and Pirates of the Caribbean trilogies (so 6 movies) for free. These offers expire and re-appear from time to time, so check out the links below to see if there is currently an offer available in your area. In the US and Australia, qualifying players used to get 5 free Blu-ray movies (usually out of a choice of two dozen movies). When you buy a Blu-ray player, you will most likely get yourself some free Blu-ray movies included.
