Ok, that makes more since now. I thought you were saying that the difference between old DVD and Hi Def was not that great. But you are saying upconverted 1080 DVD compared to BlueRay is not that noticeable. I agree, and at $40 a pop for the DVDs I plan to go with an upconversion player myself once I get my HDTV. A lot of surround sound systems come with the upconversion DVD players anyway. Then, once the Blueray DVDs come down in price, and the BlueRay Players get cheeper and have the software and PC hookups all resolved then I'll jump on board. Perhaps the 2009 holiday season.
