How many of you buy because renting HD is so expensive?

I always gather as much information as possible before making a blind buy and only have one movie that I've been pretty disappointed in. If it wasn't worth the purchase, most Blu-ray's can be sold for enough that it basically costs you a rental fee.

I may be a little different, in the fact that I will rent the standard DVD from netflix, if they don't have the title on, or readily available on, Blu.... If I like it on standard, no risk in buying it on Blu. I (not yet at least) have not purchased a blu-ray movie because the picture and sound was awesome, despite a crappy plot/acting, etc.

Since I'm listening to a commercial for it right now....... I gotta say "No Country for Old Men", although I didn't catch it in theaters, it's not going on the netflix queue, it's gonna be a blind-purchase because it looks AWESOME.
