So we have a DVD player with an HDMI out to the TV. I've always enjoyed the quality of the picture on this. Is it worth it to upgrade to blu ray? I'm not sure how much of a difference I would be able to tell. We have a decent LED Tv that the DVD is currently connected to.

How big is your tv?

How many P does it have?

Dude, it's a massive fucking difference if you care about picture quality even a little bit. Night and day. Upgrade.

would it be similar to eating a Big King when you really want a Big Mac?

More like eating a Big King when you really want a filet mignon.

oh

Ok one more question: If I use the code in most dvd/blu-rays now and get the Digital HD version of a movie, is that as good a quality as a Blu-ray?

Close, but not quite. Streaming HD looks great; it's still HD. But it still won't be the full quality you'd get from a disc. A physical Blu-ray is always the best option with current tech.

cool, thanks. Been going through a lot of my dvd collection and many of them have the free digital download.

Can't you get a blue-ray player for like 50 bucks now?

Yeah, the one we got was 60. And it connects to the net and has apps on it as well. Pretty neato.

What's blu ray? Apparently we're getting something called DVD soon, but I think I'll stick with my beta tapes.
