So my DVD player is acting up and I'm thinking about getting a Bluray player despite the fact that I don't have an HDTV. Should I bother with

something decent? I can get a refurb unit from ecost for $60 that seems to garner decent reviews for playing discs, etc. and has the necessary low-def hookups I would need for my TV.

I'd hate to send close to that amount on a DVD player that's not blu-ray but I also don't want to spend hundreds on a blu-ray player if I'm not really going to notice any difference in the unit.
