Buying stuff on DVD which I already had on VHS made some sense since a well cared for DVD is basically everlasting while a VHS tape is going to wear out. Also the quality difference is obvious to a one eyed monkey watching a hand held player.

DVD to Blu-Ray/HDDVD I really cant see being worth the upgrade for stuff you already have, especially older stuff which isnt HD anyway.

Yeah if some companies are pulling the stops out to do new transfers to make good quality DVDs I doubt that theyll be able to make it that much better for HD (famous last words)

Once the entire HDDVD/Blu ray format war has been decided then Ill see about buying myself an HiDef/TV
