Time to sell my dvd collection?


With HD DVD just getting of it's feet and Blu-Ray coming soon is now a good time to sell my 250-300 dvds? I would like to do it before they become obsolete and lose more value. What do you guys think? I really don't even watch them as I'm kept busy with new releases via Blockbuster Online.

Thanks,
Danton

a writer who is currently reviewing the hd-dvd's and he says there isnt that much of a difference to warrant buying the hd version

Can you please clarify? Is my assumption incorrect that hi def dvd has as good a picture as my hi def TV from the cable?

yes, the picture is better, but it isnt that much better to warrant buying new copies unless you watch the movie over and over again. not every movie will be released in a hd format. wait a while, it will all shake out. i will have one in for review in a couple of weeks when i review a new anthem processor, i will post here my experience.
I bring this question up because what happened to me when DVD came out. I had a 250 LD collection and took a really big hit when I sold them because I waited too long. I'm trying not to make the same mistake twice. I'm thinking of buying the $499 Toshiba HD-DVD player. Blockbuster Online currently has about 13 HD titles for rental so I probably wouldn't need to purchase any until the prices drop.

I don't know guys, but I have a DVHS deck that i got as a floor demo from Best Buy last year, and a half dozen prerecorded DVHS tapes. The tapes are digitally mastered at 1080i native resolution (digital, not analog format). The improvement over the same title on DVD is unreal. Tons more detail, better shadow definition, totally eye-popping. Even my wife, who's ususally oblivious to such things noticed it immediately.

If HD DVD and/or Blu Ray are this good then I can't wait.
I wonder if our current DVD players or Universal players can be upgraded to play the high-res formats without having to sell our current component/s.
