This.
I also like to buy older movies on DVD as the prices have come down significantly. Seldom do I ever buy new releases because if it's good enough to merit a purchase chances are I saw it in theaters and it's still fresh in my mind. A year down the road, by the time I want to watch it again it's much cheaper and if you frequent stores like I do you can just wait for stuff to go on sale. I recently bought The Da Vinci Code and Stranger than Fiction for $7 each, and Prison Break Season 1 for $30.
On Blu-Ray all of that would run me between 130-140 dollars. Compared to 44, I know where my money's going.
I guess I'm one of those people for whom the extra quality doesn't justify the overinflated prices. I want to see $100 players and nearly equitably priced disks with great sale prices before I even consider upgrading.
