I agree with what you're both saying regarding the cost of films. I used to pay £15-20 for dvds back then, but then, there wasn't a cheap alternative, which was compatible with laptops, portable players etc (this was important to me at the time). Given the huge back catalougue and the cheap price of dvds, it doesn't seem worth it TO ME, to pay the difference EVERY TIME. Don't get me wrong, I do like the format, and buy it for films I really like, but dvds are a perfect alternative, when the film:
a) isn't available on blu ray; and/ or
b) costs £3; and/ or
c) doesn't have much action or special effects (most of my blu rays are action films/ comic book adaptations - my dvd collection is much more varied); and/ or
d) any other situation in which I decide the price difference is not worth it to me.
I saw a 40" Sony LCD W5500 in the same Sony Centre, playing the "Lord of the Rings" on dvd through a blu ray player and I was very impressed. It might not have been blu ray, but it was very good.
