I will get into video games when they become like in the movie Lawnmower Man, I had decided when I saw that movie years ago. I'm still waiting for that, but not in this lifetime I guess. So I don't play video games yet.
On the other hand, I watch a lot of movies by renting and having them delivered by mail. I too only watch once w/ very rare exceptions (A Clockwork Orange).
My motivation for BlueRay was that DVDs rarely and no longer seemed to have the sound in dts.
For me, getting the Oppo player paid off not only for DTS MA movie sound, but also much better (SA)CD sound than my Philips. (I am not generally an early adopter of anything, preferring to wait for maturity. I waited about 10 years for CDs (or players) to sound decent.) Picture difference was less and and don't care nearly as much about that either. I felt somewhat ripped off watching movies on DVD in DD and seeing dts on the end credits (DVD producers were not including the higher quality sound tracks).
In a sense, I am voting for better sound quality by buying the player and renting the BD movies.
