Well I guess I can be classified as one of the "fools", I have had my BlueRay for one year now and don't regret the purchase one bit. I lived through the Beta-VHS war in the early 80's and I liked the Beta format better, so I guess I could be a fool twice!!! I can tell the difference from DVD and BlueRay, hell the regular DVD's are even better on my BlueRay player, but BlueRay action movies are the best and the Disney movies are enhanced much more. The colors are vibrant and yes you can see some things that you would not notice on a regular DVD. If you really enjoy movies, but don't want to go to the theaters, I would suggest that you go ahead and jump into HIGH DEF, it is worth the price!!!

Oh you are wrong...HGTV and Food Network are broadcasted in HD...Direct TV now has about 30 HD channels...
