I guess I'm somewhere in the middle, as I don't own a blu-ray player yet (As I only collect 90% horror, and old ones at that.) and can understand the point about some films having a certain quality to them on worn out prints, esp when it comes to SFX.
But since I got a HD TV and when some of my DVDs have half decent prints as it is, I love watching them "upscaled" through my XBOX/HDMI. While I wouldn't go as far as "Like watching them for the first time" it is fun seeing them in a new light. (The Xbox/HDMI seems to pick up more texture than my standard player.)
I will upgrade to Blu-Ray at some point, but at the moment I'm loving picking up DVDs for next to nothing.
