A good dvd in a good dvd player looks good. I am pretty happy with what I have.

Now that the price of dvd's has come down I am on a bit of a buying spree.
Something I couldn't do with the more expensive blu-ray discs.

I also have questions about durability. The pits are about 6 times smaller, so a scratch can do several times the damage. I wonder if this will impact the rental market; because renters are very careless in how they handle discs.

I may upgrade down the road, but we are talking 3 or 4 years at the earliest.

I am also worried what a higher def TV will do to the picture quality on the old TV shows I like to watch.
