Oh, and at the OP, why on earth would you pay $30-40 for blu-rays, or $15-20 for DVD's.

 

I don't, that's just how much they cost unless you happen to find a sale. 

 

When new Blu-Rays come out they're usually ~$18 the first day at Best Buy (that's how much I paid for Batman Begins a few weeks ago).

Although Fox's titles generally cost more.  They rip you off for everything, I swear.  Even Independence Day, as old as it is, was $40 when it first came out.

Wal-mart also has good prices on BDs, like $20-25.  Except for Fox's titles, yet again.

Are you sure about that?  I know about up until about a month or so ago they had a huge sell where just about every BluRay title was $15 dollars.  If you go there now they're all full price again, or at least they are at mine.

yeah why are you paying 30-40 dollars per blu-ray?!?! I have a collection of 34 blu-ray movies, and have never paid over 30 for any of them. Most of them you can buy for about 20 dollars.

About the difference in quality, you can see a marginal difference on older titles that were originally shot without HD quality when upscaled. But on newer titles, there is a HUGEEEEE difference in quality between upscaled and blu-ray at 1080p. Check out 300 or casino royale, some of the best quality in blu-ray.

Blu-ray is awesome can't go back to DVD now, too spoiled

 

Actually, 300 was one of the movies I got to compare (it was one of the ones I replaced so I had both versions for a day or so) and I couldn't really tell a difference.
