I haven't the budget to get anything better. Besides, I'm satisfied with DVD-quality definition -- I don't need anything better.
Your first reason is legit, your second is insane.
Why is that insane? Are you suggesting that there is something inherently wrong with DVD quality that everyone who watches it must be unsatisfied?
You probably don’t recognize me because of the red arm.
Episode 9 Rewrite, The Starlight Project (Released!) and ANH Technicolor Project (Released!)
Yes.

I have an awesome DVD collection. I see no need to spend any cash to upgrade anything to Blu-Ray
Not long ago I was content watching VHS tapes on my 13 in TV. Now I have a 52 inch plasma and a DVD collection. I'm a happy dude.

Yeah, I know -- it's so much saner to have an insatiable addiction for each shiny new gimmick that comes along.

Remember Hi Def-DVD?
I bought a copy of the Leni Riefenstahl film, Triumph of the Will, a couple of days ago.
Welcome back Ziggy!
"Welcome back?" What do you mean? What year is it?

You're right, it's a gimmick - and when you get past the gimmick, there's really no difference at all.

I take it you watch SD TV also.
Yeah Blu-rays are at least 200% better. Also, because they cost more, I have become more selective in what films I buy, which means I save money and my Blu-ray collection is almost solely filled with films I consider to be the greatest of all time.

But I can't plug myself directly into them, can't smell, taste, or feel what the characters can, or view them in all the wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum, now, can I?
If you get HDMI input surgery, then yes, you can.

I don't do cable but I stream HD from my BD player.
The latest DVDs I've added to my collection:
Fargo
The Graduate
Labyrinth
A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
The Punisher (2004)
The Simpsons (seasons 4, 7, & 9)
The Terminator
THX-1138
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Okay Maybe I am just stupid but do BluRays really cost more these days? Maybe it is just my part of the country but a new BluRay costs around $15-$20 and normally has the DvD version in the case and budget titles and older movies run between $5-$10 the same as DvDs. I really am confused because for a long time all the stores in my neck of the woods have been charging the exact same amount of money for new Blrays as they have for new DvDs,some times less because the DvDs don't sell as well any more. Is it different in other parts of the country?
My most recent buys are...
Psych seasons 1 and 2 on DvD(I have only just started watching this show and it is great.
Better off Ted season one on DvD(Why didn't this show run longer? What kind of a world is this where this show gets two short seasons and Two and a half men is still on the air?)
StarGate Atlantis season four on BluRay
The Hobbit:The Desolation of Smaug on BluRay.
Doctor Who:The Day of the Doctor on BluRay
Doctor Who:The time of the Doctor on BluRay
And last night I picked up High Noon on Blu ray,I can't wait to watch this.
Here is my complete collection.
I have recently added The Simpsons season 15,The A Team season 1,Thunderbirds Vol.6,Doctor Who:The Tenth Planet,Gargoyles season one,and Gargoyle season 2 vol.1 to my DvD collection.
Bought the old animated "Adventure of the Lone Ranger" and a disc of some "Archie" cartoon for a buck a piece.

I just bought a VHS of an old BBC miniseries called "Merlin of the Crystal Cave."
It was $1 plus shipping, but this means when I get it I'll have to go find my VCR in the garage.
Good luck! If it's anything like my shed you will have better luck retrieving it from a black hole.
Gamera is really neat,Gamera is filled with meat,we believe in Gamera!
Guess what I got for my birthday:)
