I wish I could change my name to MGM because I'd do a lot better job with their apparently now-defunct-for-the-second-time MOD DVD program than the current people in charge are doing.

I've had more than one VHS tape die on me so they're not exactly fool-proof either. If you treat your DVDs right, they should remain scratch free. You're not jumping on them, are you?
There are methods to repair scratches on DVDs.

In the interests of perpetuating a "my gun is bigger than your gun discussion"
-- if you add up all the movies and television I have on VHS (yes, still have some VHS -- you'd be surprised how many titles came out on VHS and never on DVD), laser disc, DVD and Blu-ray, it probably runs into the several thousands. And no, I don't have time to watch everything and I'm pretty sure I'll end up in Boot Hill with many of them unwatched. (Though most of them I saw at some point, if not actually via the actual video in my collection.)That's how it is with us obsessive collectors. We keep collecting.
And I haven't even mentioned the CDs and books!
My husband has switched to the Kindle for all his reading so we've been able to go through his shelves and give away quite a few of his books. He had a lot of mass market paperbacks he'd never read again as a physical book.

If you get a new TV for Blu-ray, make sure it's 1080p (not 720 or 1080i) and at least 40 inches. Smaller than 40 inches, you won't really get the benefits of the Blu-ray upgrade.
