Wasted space on Blu-ray discs?

Along the same lines, I'd be interested to hear if anyone has any experience comparing Blue-Ray to DVD movies. Is there a huge difference?

Personally, I was heart-broken to throw out my college VHS collection. I don't have it in me to chuck the DVDs now...hopefully they'll be around a while longer. It doesn't sound like the studios have caught on yet, anyway

What I have read is that it only makes a difference if you have the high-def TV to take advantage of it.

I don't have a flat screen tv yet because I'm not ready to spend $500 on a TV - no matter how good it looks. When 27" tvs get down to $300 or so, then I'll be interested.
