RE: not all BDs are the same?

"i'm watching Tomb raider in BD and while it's running at full HD (1920*1024 at24HZ), their picture quality seems to be only marginally better when compared to regular DVDs..."

What are you watching the "regular DVDs" on? If your watching it on your Samsung/PS3 combo then your actually comparing Bluray to upconverted DVD.

In my case I haven't bothered comparing Bluray to DVD. The only time I did was when watching the BD version of Goodfellas. Towards the end of the movie there is a scene with a woman holding airline tickets. The tickets had a black bar covering it. I didn't recall seeing this on the regular DVD. After I finished watching the BD I popped in the regular DVD to see if the black bar was there and it was. I also really didn't notice any difference in PQ between the two. My setup is a Panny pz46800u and BD35 player.
