presently I see no reason to own one.
High Definition TV's to me are like CD's when they first came out except for being louder the high def TV's are twice as bright. IN a store you can see your shadow on the floor, in a club they wash out all of the stage lighting.
Check the settings on High Def TV's and you will see they come from the factory with every setting maxed out.
If I want Hi defination TV I'll just put my glasss on
I will eventually get a projector LCD TV but I'm in no hury for that either.
I prefer audio, that way I can get something done.
Some movies are on the second remaster, and these are doing away with the mistakes of the first generation. Full Metal Jacket and The Fifth Element are two examples. I've seen what I believe are the first masters of both and they looked excellent, I can't imagine how they could get better. However, once I see them, I'm sure I will be blown away again.
These days I end up going for the Blu-ray first and if I have to, I'll slum with the DVD. There really is a huge difference to me. I don't buy many though, so I am usually constrained to the rental shelf, luckily a local shop here has around 6-700 for rent, and more out each week.

I mostly rent movies from Redbox, and they don't have BR titles (at least not in my area).
So the question would be, "Why would I need a BR player"? :scratch2:
BD players upscale regular dvds to near HD quality.
