If you can't or just dont value the difference in picture quality when comparing the difference between an hd formatted disc and a standard dvd, then by all means, more power to you. but for a lot of the people out there, again this is gonna differ from person to person, the difference in picture quality is enough for me to say i will not buy another dvd again. since the inception of the blu ray and hd-dvd formats i have not bought a single dvd which is unusual for me because i used to buy anywhere from 1-3 a month. the only dvds i've bought have been superman returns on blu ray, and planet earth also on blu ray.
and just to make sure that i'm on the same page as everyone, as far as the final spec for blu ray which is to be finalized this october, the only thing that's really changing is the interactivity right? i mean, the menus and special features, internet connectivity and a form of onboard memory...
if some people like myself only buy dvds to watch the movie, but dont really care about playing online games with it and dumb stuff like that...isn't the current spec, along w/ the current players more than enough?
Wow. HD has made so many people anal-retentive. Are you devoting your life to watching tv? Does the picture quality have to look as if you were really looking outside the window that is in reality right next to you, but you've forgotten how to move your head away from a screen and thus cannot look out that window?
