I've got a lot TV shows on DVD that I don't think I'll bother upgrading. What do other people think? Will you be upgrading in entirety or are there some discs you just don't think it's worth it?
There are lots of TV shows that were edited on standard definition video tape so they won't ever be released on Blu-ray in the first place. The exception is if film elements still exist; and the people in charge feel it's worth retransferring, re-editing, and in some cases re-compositing special effects (Star Trek).What DVD's do you think aren't worth the upgrade to Blu?

You may well be right; do consider this though:That won't stop them from putting them on Blu. They just won't look any better than they do now.

* The studios don't want to confuse people any more, so releasing Standard-def BDs (albeit ones with huge numbers of episodes/seasons per disc) would probably just confuse people.
Not sure what you mean there... The BD releases of the Godfather movies have far more resolution than even a maximum quality (which I doubt the original DVDs were) DVD could give.
I don't think it's the same question. I was wondering if people won't bother upgrading any particular type of film rather than a particular DVD. I can't see me upgrading many older films from the 30's, 40's mostly film noir.
I do have a lot older films, Ive got almost 90 film noir titles for example, but that isnt the reason. Its more to do with viewing habits, I watch a lot of Sci-Fi films and westerns on my projector so Id upgrade these on a blanket basis. Dramas, film noir and comedies I tend to watch on the TV so Im less concerned about upgrading them.Why so specific? Do you watch them less; have too many of them to begin upgrading?
