I have, none. I eventually will get a PS3... but even then I don't see the point in buying what few movies i do in Blu-ray.

I've never seen a movie where i thought "This movie would be better if it was more sharpy defined." So paying extra for it is pointless for me. I don't see buying any movies or TV shows in Blu-ray until Blu-ray is the only option to buy them in... or as cheap as DVDs.

Blu-Rays on Amazon are almost as cheap as DVDs in-store. Many are as cheap as $17.95. Considering the fact that I buy most of my CDs online already (you'll never find the stuff I listen to in a store), 'll occasionally tack on a movie as well.

Also, you obviously haven't seen an HD movie running in 1080p. It looks amazing! Easily worth the extra couple of bucks from Amazon, imo.


 

Oh I have. It's just that I am bored by Fireworks. Watching fireworks is about the same as watching a brick wall to me. Graphics without substance are kinda meaningless to me. They don't enhance my appreciation of something, only make it worse if the graphics are just outright horrible. (Like FF7's) Even spending 2 dollars more is a bit much. Of course if all things are equal i'll get the better graphics but other then that it really doesn't matter to me. I'm also not the type to just leer at women (or men) so that part of the equation is out for me too. I mean if I was a porn guy or something I could see the merit in HD porn... but that's about it. I mean, i've watched football in HD and all I came away with was that the sportscasters look WORSE in HD because well... they're old... and I can live without seeing Warren Saps butt in high definition. A movie is a movie to me so long as I get the whole thing that's all i care about. (Same with TV shows which i'm actually more likely to buy.)

 I can understand.  The big HD sellers for me are big production movies like LotR.  Sure, football games aren't enhanced that much by HD, but some of the scenes in LotR are simply stunning.
