I did the switch this summer, and this is the best way I can describe it ....


You remember when we did the switch from VHS to DVD's? Well the switch from DVD's to Blu-Ray is even better than that.

The sound, the picture clarity ..... you will not only see things you've missed, but if you've got a really good sound system you'll even hear some things you haven't.

Also get yourself a good HD surround Sound system. Digital DTS HD sounds Amazing.

Couldnt agree more. IMO a good surround sound is one of the best investments you can make to a home theater setup

PS3 and HDMI cable. Blu-ray is way better than DVD, its not the player as much as the disc.
