cant find the article i read on this ( was a while back might remember later lol ) but if you look here you can see the resolutions allowed on blu ray disc
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc
look for " Technical specifications"
that shows how low a resolution can be put on a blu ray disc and due to 720 being clased as HD ( how that was allowed is beyond me ) it can still be sold as high def
got agree the "Close Encounters" version was great and you got a choice on which version you wanted to watch "Blade Runner" was great too  |
Well 720p is HD so of course its allowed, however remember that a lot of films will have the movie in 1080p and a lot of the bonus features are still in standard def. So there is nothing wrong with normal SD stuff on Blu-Ray however every disc I have seen shows the main feature in 1080p

Well I suggest most Big Budget action/sci fi films look great as do all CG movies. For now I have stopped buying DVDs and only buy in Blu-Ray now. Will not be replacing all my DVDs yet though(over 450)
