If you have a 1080p HDTV I would say yes on Bluray though you also have to have an HDMI cable to get the best picture and those can be pricey if you need several feet.

The other downside of Bluray newer films and very popular films are usually priced at $29.99 for me that is not a huge issue because I am fairly picky and only own films that I really enjoy so my collection is small.My friend on the other buys most every movie well he used to until his wife got onto him.

My PC also has a Bluray drive and it seems to me that Blurays look and sound a bit sharper than DVDs even though my monitor is not HD.

I compared on my PC a DVD and Bluray copy of Full Metal Jacket it sure looked sharper and sounded sharper on the Bluray.

I do not yet have the original Star Wars on Bluray and I wont buy them unless I can watch the originals not the ones they put out in late 90's with the added bits.

I do need to get a copy of Das Boot though again only if it allows to play German audio with subtitles otherwise nien.
