I bit the bullet and bought a Blu-Ray disk player to go with my Hi-Def tv. And cannot see enough difference in picture quality between Blu-Ray DVDs and standard DVDs.
Now if you're talking sound, then yes there is a difference, but as far as picture quality, the added cost of the Blu-ray disks just isn't worth it.
Really? It’s probably just me, but I can’t stand how standard def DVDs look on an HDTV. I’m very picky about picture quality though.
