I can't tell someone how to spend their money. But, I can't see spending more money than I have to. So, what you don't get the extras
On Blu-Ray. Most of the time the extras are just fluff not even worth watching. I can't see the difference in Blu-Ray over DVD anyway.
So, I will save my money for other things. -

You have got that right.

Well, I can. Blu-ray allows movies to look like movies while DVD is too soft for film grain and the overall cinematic feel. Also, since I live in Europe, a "PAL" -area, Blu-ray lets me watch movies without the 25/24 speed-up.

That's fine. It is your money and your choice. -

I'm definitely selective about which Blurays I purchase. I do defer to dvd more often than not, but if it's a movie that really requires that extra visual or audio uumph, then I'll go with Bluray.
So many stories, so little time. -

I have old VHS videos that have better picture than dvd and blu ray.
high def looks good on big cinema screens but if you're talking small screen then it's overrated. I still own & collect dvds and blu rays. Won't get 4k uhd or whatever. -

Maybe it's better for movies made in the post 80s classic era, but I got the original Terminator on blu ray and michael biehn's skin looks like rubber, in fact all the actors look like damn mannequins in the blu ray. Checked out my vhs copy to confirm they looked human before. T2 blu ray, picture has a deep blue tint, like everything's god damn blue like that ****in 'I'm Blue' song from the 90s. Got the Superman movies on blu ray and Superman's suit is no longer deep blue but teal! Wtf.
