I do. There aren't enough pictures out in the format that I want to own in it. So far only "How The West Was Won" and "The Seachers" and I have The Searchers in HD recorded on my DVR. I have no interest at all in owning "Dark Knight" or any modern picture in Blu Ray. The other day at Best Buy I had a Sony Blu Ray machine in the cart but I just couldn't pull the trigger and put it back, instead I bought a Sony upscaling 5 disc DVD player to augment my 400 disc Sony machine; I'll get alot more use from that than I would from a Blu Ray machine (the 400 disc player is a pain in the ass when I want to just play one picture that's not already in the machine.)
Regular DVDs look good enough that when I go back and forth between HD and DVDs that I don't feel the difference is any big deal.Blu Ray isn't the step up from DVD that DVD was from LD and LD was from tape, not to me anyway.
Maybe if they bring "Ben-Hur", "Lawrence of Arabia", "South Pacific" and "West Side Story" out in Blu Ray I'll give it another look. Maybe.
