Standard DVD or Blue Ray

Apart from my sons PS3 I don't have a Blue Ray DVD player, but I do have a nice Dolby suround sound standard DVD set up.

I want to get the Boxed set of DVD's ( and also NSNA and CR67), there is a standard boxed set
http://www.amazon.co.uk/James-Bond-Film-Collection-DVD/dp/B0093XXFZM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1359403326&sr=8-1 ( except Skyfall) which will probably do the job

Or http://www.amazon.co.uk/James-Bond-Film-Collection-Blu-ray/dp/B006PFCQR4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1359403326&sr=8-2

with so many special features, and is obviously the baby to go for, but is it worth shelling outfor a new player http://www.amazon.co.uk/Panasonic-DMP-BD75EB-K-Booting-Blu-Ray-Player/dp/B004MPQR4M/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1

should be able to connect to my surround sound,

But are the special features on the Blu Ray set worth the extra, I know the picture quality/ sound quality is better, and they have remastered some of the old films for Blu ray that look amazing,

    I'd go with Blu Ray. It looks amazing! As far as buying a new player, times are changing and I think that you should buy one anyway. Stores are carrying more blu rays than DVDs
    Plus, you can play dvds on a blu ray player.

    I just invested in a Blu Ray player and got YOLT, OHMSS and FYEO. I watched OHMSS and the very first bit of YOLT. I would go for Blu Ray. It makes even the chinzy SFX in YOLT look good. OHMSS looked like a totally different movie from what I am used to (VHS and DVD).

    The Special Features are really varied... each disc has the Patrick MacNee docs, plus more... at $15.00 a pop at Best Buy, the Blu Rays are very affordable, too.
