I've already converted some movies since Amazon and Best Buy both often do sales where I can get them for about $15 a piece but there are still a lot more to convert if I want to go all the way. I don't think I understand why you're replacing your DVD collection if you can't see the difference. Even I wouldn't do that, and I love HD. If anyone wants to see a handy direct comparison between upscaled 480p and true 1080p, try this page: http://xylon.haloapplications.com/bluray/stargate/04/ 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. You seem to be lacking the concept of perspective. A 30-inch TV from 3 feet away looks exactly the same as a 60-inch TV from 6 feet away (approximately). There is no absolute size at which high resolutions become worthwhile. |
The ones I've been replacing are the ones that I really like (300, Phantom of the Opera, A Knights Tale, ect) or ones that are really old DVD's that don't have anamorphic widescreen (or whatever it is that doesn't work with widescreen TV's very well).
Also, I've been skimming down my movie collection even more so I trade in a crap load of movies and buy a small amount of BluRay or other movies I really like.
