I just wondered what everyone else was doing...i guess i got into this kinda late....i wanted the tv...but then that made me want a ps3 and blu ray movies lol.....i also have real life..house payments...and bills.

No...most people did not, because the way most people see it, it won't be worth getting every movie on Blu-ray, some of them won't look better, while I disagree, I can't see myself spending all that money on replacing said dvds with blu-rays, since many aren't out yet or never will be

after a while, you stop noticing that you're watching blu-ray quality. what matters most is the movie itself. and an unconverted dvd looks amazing as it is. definitely not worth getting rid of your huge dvd collection. it's more to impress people.

My major plan is to replace my favorites with BD, but use the PS3 (or any standalone) to just up-convert everything else. From what everyone says, a DVD up-converted still looks really good.

don't trade in your dvd's you may regret it one day!

sounds like you have a lot of money to spend on entertainment!

sorry for being brief last night. was writing on my ps3 and didn't want to write out a long message.

this is what i did.

1. Went through all my DVDs that I rarely watched, was done watching or I never opened up. This left everything, but Star Wars and Donnie Darko. (I had about 45 DVDs)

2. I went to a Hastings traded them all in for about $150 Store Credit

3. I bought a 60GB PS3 for $450 + $60 game.

4. I began rebuilding my collection with blu-rays.

5. Bought an HDTV.

Now, some people here might go wtf?!!?!?! you sold off like 90% of your DVDs, here is why.

1. My roommate, who had the only console in the dorm, moved out, so I was forced to buy a new console if I wanted to game.

2. I am much more of a gamer than a movie buff.

3. Blu-ray made me into a much bigger movie buff, so to me a lot of the DVDs weren't worth that much at the time.

4. I didn't really lose 90% of my DVD collection, because I watched Star Wars 80% of the time anyways.

exactly... while I have 59 blu's, I have around 200 dvds... I think eventually my blu's will waaaaaaay surpass my dvd collection as I didn't start buying dvds until way later than 97. I was only in 7th grade then.

Good Luck with trying to get urself an 80GB Playstation 3 for MGS4 Bundle, I was down at Gamestop this morning, and I couldn't believe my eyes, the line starts at 10:00PM tomorrow night and from what I heard the line is going to be massive. I myself don't plan on selling any of my DVDs I do however plan on purchasing from now on, exclusively blu-rays for what I don't own.
