If your TV is UNDER 46inches, Do Not Buy Blu-Ray Movies, there is no need.
DVD's are fine With-Out Upscale on 46inch TV's and below.
Like stated above the PS3 upscales DVD's that look almost identiacl to BR's on even a 54inch, I know, I own a 54inch and did not see a diffrence with my DvD compaired to BR of Talladega Nights (came with PS3), only BR I owned.

I haven't seen Talladega Nights, so I can't say what the quality is on that specific movie, but.... This is so untrue. I have a 56" 1080p DLP and a 32" 720p LCD, and there is a huge difference on my DLP, and a very noticable difference on my LCD (between BR and upscaled). Saying a non-upscaled dvd looks the same as a blu-ray at 46" is ridiculous.
Anyways, personally I haven't purchased a DVD (besides some tv shows) since I bought my PS3. There is a quality difference, you just have to decide if it is worth it to pay more. Nobody can really make that decision for you.
Oh, and at the OP, why on earth would you pay $30-40 for blu-rays, or $15-20 for DVD's.

Sorry but saying an Upscale-DvD on a 46inch looks the same as BR on a 46inch, is not Ridiculous.
Blu-ray on a 46inch and lower is a waste of money, plain and simple.
The whole reason why you get Blu-Ray and 7.1ss is to have the best of the best, throw in a small tv and you just screwed the whole setup.

That claim is completely false.
I have a 40" 1080p Sony Bravia xbr4
I play DVDs and Blu-rays on the same TV using my PS3.
The colors alone make a huge difference and especially the black level.
I've seen Super Bad on DVD and Blu-ray.... friend's Blu-ray and my unlimited monthly blockbuster rentals... 3 minutes away from my house... wanted to test out TV...
ANYWAY, the colors and black level we're MUCH better with bluray, not to mention the sharper picture. I calibrated my TV for 1080p signals btw, but I did try out "standard" and eye burning "vivid" on both sources.
Oh and please stop typing in "Bold".

Depends on you really.
Do you love a movie so much that you would be willing to spend some extra dollars just to collect and watch it in it's best home version?
There's also the possibility of you buying a bigger set down the road.
I'd recommend keeping your DVD collection and only buying the exceptional new ones on Blu-ray that YOU think are worth the premium.
I myself haven't bought a single Blu-ray movie, but that will change once Wall-e comes out. ^_^
Also, DVDs usually comeout on 4:3 and 16:9 ratios usually cutting the sides off movies, while BD movies(while not all) come in 2.35:1/2.4:1 which actually shows the sides of a movie cut out on DVD versions. Though this does make the movie appear smaller with the black bars on both the top and bottom on an HD set, though you can always "zoom in" to 16:9(cutting the sides just like the DVD version, the image would still be sharp though because it's 1080p on a small display) if you want. Atleast you're getting the "complete" version right? =P
When you do get a bigger set, you can sacrifice the top and bottom of your display to the dreaded black bars and try out the 2.35:1 aspect ratio and see the "whole" movie.

I haven't seen Wall-E yet, but the first Pixar film I plan to buy on Blu-Ray is Finding Nemo. I love that film, and I'm sure it will look absolutely beautiful on Blu-Ray. :D
I *might* but Monsters, Inc. at some point as well, but only if it's really cheap, and I have lots of spare cash. :P
