...to joel's question is 'every movie you love'.

I had about 500 DVDs. I bought an HD DVD player and started buying on HD DVD new-to-me movies and replacing some I had. I can't recall one HD that didn't look LOTS better than uprezed DVD. Last year I bought a Samsung 5000 (that plays both HDs and BDs and has an excellent uprezing chip) and started buying BDs, and I can't recall a single BD I bought that didn't look lots better than the uprezed DVD. I now have about a hundred each of HD DVDs and BDs and am down to about 300 DVDs. I'll continue to buy BDs of the movies I love. As someone mentioned, waiting some time after release is one way to lower one's costs.

One hi-rez 'miss' was Lethal Weapon 2 on HD DVD--it was full of motion artifacts and jaggies.
