Default Which DVDs aren't worth upgrading (yet)?
Anyone come across a bluray that didn't look noticeably better than the DVD counterpart? Everything I've found has looked incredible...although Terminator II didn't look as stellar as I had hoped, but still great.

Any bad movie isn't worth upgrading.

The ones that you will never watch again regardless of format are the ones not worth upgrading.

The worst BD I've come across has been "28 Days Later". The Blu-ray looks ridiculously worse than the DVD. I was mad when I viewed it and wished I had kept my DVD copy. The sequel, however, looks great on BD.

Poppycock. Maybe if you're partially sighted.

On your 32" 480i TV set?

Sound like "Interview with a Vampire" might not be worth upgrading, although I haven't seen the Blu-ray yet.

I have the ultimate edition DVD which looks phenominal upconverted and it has TONS of special features which the BD will not have. I can't see paying even $15 for the BD upgrade. Your thoughts?

The majority of people (including me) don't care much about special features so that shouldn't stop most.

I don't buy a ton of Blu's and REALLY wanted to get this one in light of the crappy pq/aq on the DVD, but I've heard less than impressive reviews.

Too early for a re-encode? Wait for a bigger market saturation (09, 10?) to release a quality Blu. What do yall think?
