I purchased my first Blu Ray disc to try out on my PS3 which I bought to stream Netflix and PlayOn content. I had watched RHPS on DVD and HD TV, but I was really impressed with the blu ray. It was in OAR (very small black bars on each side), but it was the audio that blew me away. The original was in mono, and they remixed to 7.1 DTS HD for this blu ray. I only have a 5.1 system, but the sound was excellent. The transfer was good, only showing some noise (not digital noise, but the original noise from low light scenes that was on the original film). Thankfully, they didnt try to use any digital techniques to "fix" that.
Fitting first Blu Ray, since halloween is coming up. Price was sub $20 (the price point I promised myself would have to be broken before I switched from renting DVDs to buying Blu rays).
Anyone who has this movie on DVD or laserdisc will find the blu ray a vast improvement on a 35 year old movie. Nice little multpage booklet/case with lots of pictures comments from the original cast. Worth the $19.95 for sure.
