That financial argument I can buy. The argument that there is no actual improvement in quality I can't.
What I said was that there was no HUGE improvement in quality, not that there's none at all. The other thing with VHS tapes, especially if you rented them, was that once they started getting a bit worn they started looking really bad, but DVD's of course look brand new no matter how many times they've been played.
There's just not that level of improvement from DVD to Blu Ray. Of course, there's the other side of the financial argument as well. Once somebody has spent all the money on a hi-def TV and Blu Ray player, they're certainly not going to tell other people that they only notice a small improvement, they'd sound silly for having spent all that money. We've all seen Hi-def TV's in stores and yes, when you stand 3 feet in front of a 60" hi-def screen it looks quite impressive. But when you stand 15 feet from a 32" high def screen, like I would in my own house, the difference is only moderately noticeable.
