BLU Ray DvDs ........?

[peternorth]

is there any difference in resolution between a regular DVD that has been upconverted thru my player and a BLU RAY DVD.Should i spend the xtra money getting a blue ray movie ? my tv is 1080p.

yes the resolution will be better on a larger tv but 32 inch and below will not be that much more better just a little sharper.
its not so much about how much of a difference in picture as to how much of a difference in the cost of the movies and weather it justifies the extra 10 quid,i brought an hd dvd player and to be honest could not bring my self too shell out more money on hddvd discs as upscaling was not that much different.so when they went bust i did not buy a blu ray player or a ps3 becuase ive grown out of playing games.
instead i brought myself a media player that streams movies to a hard drive that plays back divx wmv avi mpeg and all high def upto 1080p if i need to.just my opinion but this is what i feel will be the future of movie playing.ps3 and xbox are already streaming movies.
