To me personally, while the increase in quality when watching BR or HD is noticeable, it doesn't increase my enjoyment of the movie significantly. And even after watching BR/HD it's not like watching regular DVD makes me wanna say "what a crap quality". So while my next DVD player will be HD or BR (the latter seems more likely now) I'm not in a rush to get it.
You know what I would like to see when it comes to DVD movies - normal menus with good response time. Where do these menus' designers get off on making menus that half the time you can't tell which item you selected or not, it takes 2 seconds for it to respond to a selection and those stupid footage loops in the background - don't get me started on those! Is it really too much to ask to make a decent loop that doesn't skip when comes to the end?!?
The menu systems for dvd's seem to be all the same. With the only abillities to display video, images, and play sound. With choices being a gif like display.

I believe (dont quote me on this) that BR and HDDVD both have menu systems setup so that the menu designers can actually program it like a video game.
