Rikki Tikki Tavi - Wait For Blu-Ray Or Just Buy It Now??
Author: Stephen Gerding

What with the future being fairly inevitable and all, I’ve slowed my DVD purchases to a crawl for the most part, opting not to buy certain titles that I know for a fact I’ll be watching again and again in the future and would really like to see in hi-def Blu-Ray. Of course, every once in a while something comes along and I don;t know what to do about it - enter this Chuck Jones Collection featuring what is quite possibly my favorite cartoon ever, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi. My question is simple: is there a truly honest and compelling reason for me to hold off on buying this if/until it’s available on Blu-ray, or are older animated features really not that likely to benefit enough from the newer tech to sweat it?
Spread the word!

I know it sounds kind of weird coming from me, but if it makes any difference, I’m of the opinion that regular ol’ DVD has a decent amount of life left in it. They’re even cheaper now and look better than they used to. Watching blu-ray DVDs won’t ruin this if you still have it on DVD in 10 years from now I guess is what I’m trying to say.

Yeah, that’s pretty much how I’m leaning on this one. Pixar stuff and newer movies I think I’ll hold off on, but TV shows like The Wire, The Shield, classic animated stuff, etc. I’ll probably keep getting on a case by case depending on price. I just want to make sure I’m not missing something here that I’m unaware of.
