So this is what keeps me on the fence. I have an up convert standard DVD player and I feel its pretty darn good - doesn't leave me wishing for better. I do notice that HD movies on DTV are maybe a bit better....but not by much.

So why do I want to spend $30 for a High def dvd - compared to the standard DVD that I can get on release day for $13?? Tough decision for me.......

I will admit that I have purchased a PS3 (can't open till Christmas!) to pretty much just play movies. I got the PS3 for $299 so it seemed like a crazy cheap bluray player that plays games! Now, I really won't be playing games on it except maybe any PS3 exclusive games - KH3??

Not to change topics but this is why I'm pretty sure PS3 is dead as a gaming console - I'm thinking bunches of folks have bought the PS3 only to play movies?? Doesn't do the developers much good to make games for a system people are mostly watching movies on, me thinks.
