There is more than the 240 -vs- 480 lines of resolution. Some are less important - like not needing to rewind, the 'extras', less shelf space for each DVD and not losing quality through time.To me, the single point that makes it worth it is the sound quality and multichannel discrete sound. With proper speaker setup, this can transform 'watching' a movie into 'experiencing' it!
Just think about this: I never bought a VHS movie as they were fun to watch once. I now own over 60 DVD's since they are so life-like, and the sound tracks are so moving, it's fun to experience the movie more than once!
