not like "everyone" has a blu-ray player and besides i'm not that worried about how good the movie quality is as long as i can watch it thats the main thing and i'm not re-buying every single movie i own.

Kazenji, you are not missing out on enjoying the film just because you watch dvds over blu ray. If you have a decent television and dvd player, it's not much of a difference to warrant a straight away buy for blu ray imo.
You can even upscale your dvd player with HDMI cables and get it as close to blu ray quality for cheaper
I think Blu Ray is an incredible technology but it will never be utilized to it's full capability at a reasonable price. A Blue Ray disc CAN hold nearly double that of a DVD disc but when you can achieve, nearly, Blue Ray quality without owning a Blue Ray player. The only other factor that becomes important is content. The content aspect is where the Blue Ray conquers DvD but with more content comes a higher price tag. So, i don't buy Blue Ray because i see no need. I'm not going to pay an extra $15-$20 for a an extra interview or short documentary but i could be convinced to switch over to Blue Ray if there is enough additional content. An Example; The Blue RAy edition of Close Encounters of the third kind offers the original theatrical cut and an updated cut on one disc. That is something i'm very interested in and i could see a $30 price tag on that product being justified. Even then, however, this is nothing new. We have seen movie's come out on Dvd that offer two separate version of the movie. They are usually split up on two discs though.
