Your father may not be able to, but I certain can. As do most of the people on the AV forums.
I've upgraded all my current DVDs with their respective Blu-Ray versions, and all look better to me than an upconverted DVD.
Even with a crappy video transfer.
Not only that, but no DVD will ever give you uncompressed sound for 8 channels.
DVDs are good enough?
I'm glad you're satisfied with "good enough".
Cassette tapes sound good enough too, I remember when VHS looked good enough.
Composite cables on my SNES were good enough too.
I was a one-time store rep for the 360 during it's launch night. (helping out a friend)
I had to answer questions, give away the freebies, help set up, etc.
Towards the end of the night I just started making things up. About the cost of the system, limited availability, graphics, etc. I made people believe I was actually involved in the design and programming of the games and system themselves.

Blah blah blah.
You're right, that's why we've, at least, have upgraded.
PS3 shines for me, because I take full advantage of it.
And even if you can't, it's still a great machine.
The best reason to wait on purchasing it is for when there are more quality games available, but not because you feel Blu-Ray is pointless.

Those demo units won't be sold to customers because the shells you see are fake. The actual system is bare and built into the kiosk.

I was so bored.
