Obviously not everyone will be able to tell the difference, but most home A/V enthusiasts certainly can.

DVD's are selling for $5 now at Walmart, so you can save yourself a ton of cash on releases.

Excuse me. Did you even read my posts? Or, did you simply not understand them?

Perhaps you don't realize there's a difference in compression between legacy encodes on DVD and BD. You obviously missed that part of the discussion, although I'm not sure how because was the only thing being discussed. Allow me to repeat it. The comparison is not between lossless and DD/DTS on DVD. It's between lossless and the higher bitrate versions of the legacy codecs on BD. I doubt many people would pick lossless over those higher bitrate lossy encodes in a blind test.
