Must be nice thinking tossing out 299 bucks is "cheap"

$300 is hardly an outrageous price when you consider what the PS3 is capable of. **** the SNES was $400 back in the days.
And yes, while $300 is expensive, its not expensive to the point where its going to break the bank.
If you're a fan of movies, you would want to watch them in their highest quality. And I'm not just talking about the big budget blockbusters. The real meat of my current BD collection is in restored, older movies. One of the biggest reasons why I decided to go Blu in the first place was seeing the restoration work done on The Godfather collection. The print looked so beautiful it damn near put a tear in my eye. Many reviewers who saw The Godfather in theaters have said that the BD version of the movie brought them back there. Surely, that's a worthwhile experience, no?
Oh and BTW the pre-order prices right now for Transformers 2 and Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince are $19.99 and 18.99 respectively for the BD versions, while their special edition DVD versions are both over $20. :loltongue::coolshades:

You need to not speak as though it is the same for everyone.

That's a generalization. I'm about as big a fan of movies and filmmaking you'll find, and I'm fine with DVD. If you're a fan of movies, you want to watch the movie for the movie, not for the tech aspects and remastering. It's definitely a bonus, but it doesn't make or break a purchase for me. Besides, DVDs already look great, and I don't think I'm willing to pay whatever a Blu-Ray player costs plus an average of $10 per disc for every movie I buy to watch a movie that I already have just because the image is sharper.

So I hit my first classic movie on blu-ray and it was excellent.
I wasn't expecting much but the colors were great and the footage was totally remastered.
Only bad part is my wallet is going to hate me for the shitload of older movies I now have to buy on blu-ray.
