If the Blu-Ray player I'd gotten with my 50" HDTV hadn't been free, I'd say it was a waste of money. You can recite all the stats you want at me, but the Blu-Ray discs are at best a tiny marginal upgrade over the upscaled DVDs it plays, with little to no functionality improvements that I've noticed (in fact, it's worse, since my player apparently can't play all BR discs even though all DVD players I've ever had can play all DVD discs). There's no reason for me to pay anything for it (no I don't have surround sound, either, and neither do most people, that's an even smaller niche than HD usage).

I`ve spent alot of money on PS3, 42" HDTV and surround system (good surround system that is) and watching movies without it, is loosing 50% of the experience. I promise investing some rupees in surround, HDTV and Blu-Ray player won`t disappoint anyone.

Stating that "dvd is good enough or even better" is a lie, or just  plain stupidity. It wouldn`t surprise me that ign is just trying to kill off ps3. Because a gaming nerd always want the best out of sound and picture quality.

Most people don't see that kind of investment to be worth it, else more people would do it. Hell, even I haven't invested in surround sound (or HD, but that will change). It just wouldn't be worth the money involved, here.

DVD is good enough for me too, right now.
