Blue-Ray vs. HD-DVD: I'm sitting this one out

Blue-Ray vs. HD-DVD... sounds like VHS vs. BetaMax to me. I'm sitting out on this one. Tell me, why should I waste my money gambling that one format will beat the other? Say I choose Blue-Ray... not that I have... this is purely a hypothetical situation. Ok, so I choose Blue-Ray, buy all these cool and high definition movies, complete a decent movie collection and BAM! HD-DVD has won the high definition war. Now what? I have to buy my collection again on HD-DVD? Are you kidding me?

Enough of that... I'm sticking with good ol' dvd. That's right... and I'll tell you why. I still own a regular tv. No widescreen, no lcd, no plasma, no projection. I tell you I'm lucky to even have a flatscreen tube. Not only this, but I really don't need a movie to be THAT sharp and crisp. My eyes aren't that good... and as I type right at this moment, I am approximately 11 feet away from my tv. The tv could be half fuzzy and at this range, it'd still look the same. /rant off

I do purchase dvds. I have over 120+ dvds. I just don't feel like purchasing every single dvd on a whim.

For me, DVDs have to either be: 1. So good you have to own it or 2. so rare that you can't find it any other way.

This is how I deem a dvd worthy of purchase.
