Haha yeah. It's been a gradual process of conversion for me - it started with getting a 40inch 1080p tv and then noticing that dvd's just didn't look quite as good. Then a friend hooked his Blu-ray player up to the tv, the dvds looked fantastic upscaled (we actually watched Arrow's recent release of Inferno as a test) and the blu-ray films looked even better. I wouldn't buy everything again but I'm a bit of an Argento nut and all the dvds of his movies I have I only paied a few pounds for so I don't reallt mind making the upgrade. Oddly enough, Arrow's releases have been quite instrumental in persuading me as a lot of their blu-ray releases are of films I've seen but have been in the process of wanting to buy to watch again (Battle Royale, Bay of Blood, Dawn and Day of the Dead etc)
