Blu-Ray Naynay

I have a decent sized DVD collection, to put it mildly, and am not ready to jump onto the HD-DVD/Blu-Ray bandwagon. With the recent LCD HDTV I purchased, I managed to get a standard DVD player that upconverts the image to 1080i via an HDMI cable and have been quite impressed with the sharpness of the image from regular DVD-- of course if a DVD looks grainy on a regular TV, it tends to look more so on a HDTV.

Hm, that does sound interesting. I know I feel like I miss out with my old-skool Sears TV. I can watch DVDs on my iMac, but the screen is not really as large as I'd like. Ah, I keep fantasizing about those 24" Dell UltraSharps. One day!!!

One problem I might have is that I tend to watch mostly older movies and TV shows. I guess they'll probably start offering Blu-Ray versions of some of them, but without the right TV, it'd be lost on me.

You know, it really seems like that you need a $1,000+ TV to really get the most out of this gen of consoles. It seems almost an abuse to hook a 360 or PS3 up to something other than an LCD or plasma screen.
