Default Blu-Ray quality disappointing

I hate to say it, but the BD movies i have are only slightly better than their DVD counter parts.

I have X3 on both formats and did a head to head comparison and was really really disappointed. $600 for a PS3 and $30 for a BD disc and hardly a noticeable improvement.

When I put MI3 in, my wife commented that "it looks the same". You would think that a BD with 1080p would look amazing, but so far only HDTV over my antenna has been jaw dropping (football especially).

Within 2 weeks, I have a modest collection of BD movies and only one (Crank) is worth showing off. I'm a little embarrassed to show the rest off. I don't own an upscaling DVD player and was never a big fan of upscaling because the source is still 480i but now i'm thinking it would give BD a run for its money.

movies:
Crank
Mission Impossible Collectors set
X3
Talledega Nights
Hous of flying daggers (absolute crap)

btw: I love the PS3 for all the other things it can do like play Hi-Def MPEG4's and Madden 2007 but so far the BD experience has been embarrassing.
