Default When do you NOT buy BDs to replace DVDs?

I assume most of you have many DVDs & have not replaced all with BDs.

What are some reasons to not buy a BD if available for a movie you already own on DVD?

I can think of a few.

Don’t have the money
Don’t want to spend the money
My DVD has multiple discs loaded with features & the BD is bare bones!
PQ/AQ not very good in reviews
Waiting for it to come down more in price
Waiting to see if a new Special Edition BD with better PQ/AQ & / or More features comes out.
Decided I really don’t like that movie as much as I thought & only watched the DVD once.
Waiting for 3D.

Smile Imo.

1. The price is imo too high.
2. The transfer is crappy and could be better, like 1st Gladiator or Jim Carrey's Grinch.
3. It has no special features, Spiderman 2.
4. It's region locked.
5. It's an import that may be a pain to get.

When I can upgrade to Bluray I generally do. I won't replace a DVD that'll likely never get a bluray upgrade. I also don't upgrade my Criterion Collection. Maybe because they're just more collectable.

I can't think of a DVD I haven't upgraded.

Only one for me, blind bought (or not) the DVD but I am not interested in ever re-watching the movie again. As for the other ones in the OP post

I see them as the same, also in the end the third one (come down in price) is not a reason not to buy but just not now. For movies that I want fro the fun of it but that I am not realy interested enough in them (i.e. I know I can wait to see them) that is what I do (if I have them on DVD or not).

these I have heard, but I really don't get. If you have the extras from the DVD, who cares if they are on the BD or not, you want them you have them and you can see them, it is not as if an extra on a DVD in SD will look/sound better if it is the same transfer on a BD. I have yet to see a BD that is not better then the DVD and so for me it is simple, if I want to watch it, then why watch it in a less good DVD version then the "I think it can look better" BD version.

I can see how that can make sense in general, but has not been a factor for DVDs-> BD for me. Though I have skipped some new BDs that where shown in 3D but only came out in 2D on BD because I would rather buy the 3D then buy the 2D now and 3D later (but for movies where I can wait)
