Answer
I can only tell you what I know, and I will back up what I say, I can not speak for others. Even though I don't like it some other people might like it.
There was this bluray demostration at the shopping center once. They put 2 identical televisions right next to each other and played the same movie on it but one was a bluray disc on a blu ray player, the other was the normal dvd on a normal dvd player. They said "Notice how clear and sharp the images are ont he blu ray". I did not notice until they pointed it out, and even then, it seemed more to be a 'placebo effect'. Like if someone repeatedly told you this cake doesn't taste as good as that one, and so when you do taste them you might go oh you're right, when in fact there's no difference. Its not like the non bluray was totally pixelated. The edges of things like people's faces was still 'blurred and smeared' on both tvs because it was a plasma large screen tv (you know how plasma large screen tvs tend to stretch the images out and the edges of pictures 'blend' in with the other stuff?).
I did not find the blu ray any better than the normal dvd players, nor did I find any difference between bluray and non blu ray discs, and I am not the least tempted to buy a bluray disc over a normal DVD disc.
We have a bluray player and disc now, it came for free with the new tv. It doesn't do the job anybetter than our old player. If anything, its more simple and boring. The old DVD player came with 2 free preinstalled games, and had many functions (change volume, subtitles button, karaoke, zoom in or out of view, tonal changes and USB port etc and it wasn't even a popular brand). It played music cds too, but the one thing it couldn't do was play really badly pirated cds and dvds. The bluray player can't play them either. We tried them with the pirated dvds our friends gave us. (thank goodness, the dvds didn't look nice at all). Like they say, they don't make houses like they used to. Well I reckon they don't make anything like they used to- before things were built to last, and to work. Like with name brands, the 'brand' and status quo is nothing, its the object itself that matters. There are good quality things that don't have that price tag because they don't have a 'word' associated with them, but they do the same job. As far as I can see, there is no difference between bluray discs or dvds, unless you think its worth paying around $15 more for extra features and deleted scenes, which usually come with dvds anyway.
Even though I haven't seen the Dark Knight, I reckon its not worth it because it wouldn't be that different (if its different at all), unless there are really cool extra features. Remember that the tv will be displaying the image. The picture quality won't be any better if you used a top quality disc in a top quality player if your tv is a black and white tv. Tvs display pictures use pixels, and each tv has their own tv pixel size.
So basically the quality also depend on the tv. See if you can go to an electronics store or a department store and see their blu ray/dvds movies demos on their tvs.

PS3 blu ray has black boxes at the top and bottom?
Jordan S
ok I may be an idiot, but i thought with 16:9 tvs "widescreen" movies would be full screen, and not have black bars at the top and bottom like 4:3 tvs do, am I missing some setting some where on the playstation?
Answer
While you may have a 16:9 TV, not all movies are shot in 16:9.
Some are shot with a slightly wider aspect ratio (1.85:1 or 2.39:1) and as a result, the blu-ray player is keeping the horizontal resolution the same. This then results in the black bars on the top and bottom.
You can try using the remote's Zoom feature, to slightly zoom in one the screen but you will lose the extreme left and right edges of the original picture.
