With the increasing quality of DVDs, is it possible Blu-Ray may not flourish?

I'll tell you, I really had to enlarge and look VERY closely to see any difference at all. It was VERY close.

Screenshots are meaningless. Kind of like this thread.

Besides, no amount of upconverting can make up for data that ISN'T THERE---especially when there's a perfectly acceptable and available format that actually provides the data. Not to mention that DVD still won't provide high resolution audio...

Ugh. Some threads are made for crapping, and that's just what we'll do.

Do I smell dead meat? Ewww...
