We replaced our 19" tube tv with a 42" HDTV two years ago, and let me tell you, almost immediately anything less than high def, all of which had been perfectly acceptable a few weeks prior, started looking distinctly shabby. We haven't gotten a blue-ray player yet, but I imagine the same will be true. Our plan is to wait until the current DVD player dies (and it will) and then replace it with a cheapie blue-ray. Last I checked the low end was running $100-$150, which is not bad. I don't think we'll buy any discs though. We barely watch the DVDs we own, I think netflix will do us fine for the limited amount of tv we watch post-baby. As long as we can avoid watching anyone else's blue-ray player, we can continue to live in our little "this looks fine, no need to rush out and upgrade!" bubble.... plenty of room in here for all! ;-)
