Actually, I have made the jump to Blu-ray. I just don't buy too many of them because I can't make full-film audio rips from them. Not yet anyway. I know it sounds restrictive to base my purchases on whether or not I can rip the audio track, but it really is a big deal to me.

Sometimes I buy two copies - one DVD, one Blu-ray - so I can have both a great picture and an MP3 of the film. True Grit and Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes both came packaged as a Blu-ray\DVD\Digital, which was really nice.I haven't watched either of the digital versions, so I can't speak to the quality. I may be able to pull my rips from those digital versions. I haven't looked into it.

I don't have anything against the Blu-rays of Blade Runner and Alien, they just aren't a priority because I'm happy with the DVDs. I'll eventually get there.

I don't think I've ever heard of someone ripping the audio of a movie to listen to it on its own. Do other people do this? What inspired you to start doing this, Anchorhead? I'm fascinated!
