Blu-ray is definitely worth buying if it's something you'll rewatch. I view about half my movies on a large screen, and the quality of color and total resolution from a Blu-ray is 2-3X better than "HD" via cable.

Both Verizon and Comcast pass off something like 720p (with DVD quality color and compression) as high definition. It's soft garbage that looks terrible on anything over 40 inches.

Netflix does a really good job with HD movies, and Amazon Prime is generally pretty good to okay. It's as if cable companies are doing everything they can to kill themselves.

I used to buy DVDs. But now with streaming getting
so fast and good for the most part, I just think it is a
waste to buy movies. The few DVDs I have bought
have been some very old or foreign movies that are
not on streaming, and nature series, like the BBC
Planet Earth or Blue Planet. I love to watch them in
high resolution.

they did a nice job with The Godfather. there is a special feature on the blu-ray discussing everything that went into the restoration.
