And to everyone telling me not to even bother with blu-ray unless I have a widescreen tv....shut it. Not everyone has the money for a widescreen tv. A lot of us have to make do with the 4:3 tvs we have until they break. I got a blu-ray player because my dvd player wasn't working that well, and I thought why not upgrade for when I can get a widescreen tv. Not having a job makes it difficult to "save up some money."
And before a bunch of swingbags rag on me for that, you should know that I CAN'T get a job. My mother is ill and I'm the only one around to help her out. My dad works and both of my brothers moved out.

I'm sympathetic to your circumstances, but how did you pay for the Blu-ray player to begin with and how will you afford the TNG or TOS Blu-rays if/when you choose to get them if money is so tight?
Incidentally, how big a screen does your 4:3 TV have? What image adjustment controls does it have? Do you have access to a hidden service menu?
