I actually have some questions regarding Blu-ray. I've only ever watched one movie (300 on a 80 or so inch HDTV) and I remember it not being as amazing as everyone said it would be, I think someone said the grainy look of it made a less apparent difference to the DVD version but I'm not sure if that is the case. Does the quality of Blu-ray vary? Also I recently bought the Hunger Games in HD on Xbox Live and I can't imagine it looking any better than that (It's as good as the best movie theater screen I've seen). Is Blu-ray about the same quality of full HD movies?

Yeh I've definitely experienced that. Recently watched the Tinker Tailor Blu ray and they use a very heavy film grain over the picture that obscures a lot of the added detail usually found on a Blu ray picture. It's an aesthetic choice and it fits the film, but it does mean the increase in quality is less noticeable.
