I can kind of agree with people when it comes to the average person and high definition television and movies.
In my case, our 10 year old tube SDTV died two years ago and my parents (namely my dad) decided to go for something good. Once we bought it were watching TV on it and I playing my PS3 on it, my dad seemed to find it a little difficult to notice the difference between an HD and SD channel (part of the reason was that of the HD tuner that only works on like two channels so he thought he could tell the difference) and my mom kept complaining that it was too big (it's like over double the size of the screen of the old TV.
Now we have an HD/DVR box and they both show it off to people who want to see it and my family loves watching sports and the Food Channel in HD. For them, it took a little bit to realize the difference, but now they're used to it and loving it.
Hell, when I first got my PS3 and recommended maybe getting a blu-ray movie, my dad was like "Nah, they're too expensive". That is true and I feel that way too, but now he's like "So when are we going to get a blu-ray movie?".
It's a similar story with my aunt and uncle. They got an HDTV as a Christmas gift from their children. At first it was all "We don't need it" and "Our old TV is fine", now along with them and my a few of my Dad's other brothers, it's like a dick waving contest of who has the best TV and who hosts the best get together for a sports/movie event.
