They did not have a DVD connected to the new TV, the old player they had died. This is why I had my sons buy them a new one for Xmas. So there was nothing to compare but my own system at home. I had just watch the same movie the night before on my setup. Not saying it was better, but the PQ was very very nice and much more than I expected. I guess the point I may be directing towards is if a $50.00 upconverting player can produce such a nice PQ than the DVD format may not be on its way out the door. The only other factor that will kill off DVD is pricing, I have not paid over $19.00 for the few BR titles I have and the lowest was $15.00 for the latest Harry Potter release that came with the Norm DVD, BR and Dig copy.

My Parents, like many others in their age bracket (late 70's/early 80's) are not real concern about HDTV, BR and all the other newer stuff coming out. If not for me my parents would still be using their rotary phone (if it works why change it) as my Dad would say. The way I look at it, I'm just building up my inheirtence...lol
