In the past 3 weeks I have downloaded .mkv blu ray rips of Quadrophenia, Trainspotting and Alien. All 3 I currently own on DVD. I done this simply to see what the blu ray conversion was like. Quadrophenia had poor reviews on amazon of grain and basically being a dvd transfer onto a blu ray disc (Which had of been would of been the film industry ripping off the consumer in my opinion), although the film, one of my all time favourites, isn't the best blu ray transfer it made my mind up to go and buy the original blu ray.
It's exactly the same with both Alien and Trainspotting. Before I buy any blu ray I will do exactly the same because no one can review it like yourself. All 3 of those films I have bought in the last week because I had downloaded the .mkv version.

As a responsible ISP, Virgin Media complies with court orders but we strongly believe that tackling the issue of copyright infringement needs compelling legal alternatives, giving consumers access to great content at the right price, to help change consumer behaviour,
