Villages07....i went thru the same thought process about a year ago...finally took the plunge

bought a panasonic blu-ray player for less that 300 and am very pleased.....i compare blu ray to the difference between regular digital TV and HD TV....it does make a big difference....and...with a blu ray player, it automatically "upconverts" your non blu ray DVD's to a higher level of clarity....not to HD level...but better than if played on a regular DVD player

its your choice of course....but i do not regret my decision
