It has to do with being able to watch what I want when I feel like it. Nothing more. If I had to justify it based on cost...don't think I could. But I do try to shop carefully, and I doubt any disc (except Criterions) has cost more than a couple tickets to a movie, most less...if you want to look at it that way.
As to the main topic: wow, most people have been much luckier than me. I have noticed tons of BDs with lousy transfers. It is only a medium after all, they can (and do) put anything on it, the medium itself does not guarantee quality. That HTF thread is about problem discs, not really about subpar transfers. Unfortunately there is no "lousy transfer" thread. I suggest being wary of many Fox back catalog BDs. Many of the recent built-in upscalers can do just about as well with the DVD. To be fair, many of these were not that great transfers on DVD either, so the bar is low.
