Hello Subhash,
It is great that you understand the benefit of a dedicated entertainment room, you have proved your point by having one, and i can see with your so many writings that how well you use your room.
I have so many movies and foreign TV shows to watch, and then to catch up with so many things during the day, for me to note down the scenes which were very good, and watch only them on repeat times is not viable to me, the best i do is if i have liked some scene, i rewind there and then. With audio CD, we can listen several times, which is viable for me because that way i can do my other works if the need be, but we can not do this with movies.
Indeed a blue ray player will beat the media player, but still i will never go for a blue ray because i see so many movies and to keep buying blue ray disc is not viable for me especially when for me it is like a thermocal glass during most times, as i would not like to see the movie again though for a one time watching is fine.
Furthermore i like to have my movies in digital format stored on my external hard disk and then not to forget i get an opportunity to keep deleting the movies which i will not see again, i delete more then 50% of the movies, with blue rays if i have to throw more then 50% of those hard copies with the cost involved that would hurt me to the core. With the number of movies i see and if blue ray is going to be my source then i will have to cut down watching the movies because i can not afford to spend so much on the thermocal glasses, i rather spend those monies on things related to my mini theatre.
The quality of movies which i am getting from the downloaded movies i am very happy with it but indeed they will not be to the mark via blue ray, but they are any day better then the original DVDs which we get in the stores, but this is a very small price i have to pay keeping in mind my above writing.
I have spent good amount of money on the enviorment and set up with true quality because these are the things i will not throw away, i have taken great care to make my mini theatre so that i have the best of comfort and joy.
To conclude i must say that you and others help so many forum members with your suggestions while there will be many of them around who just want to get information and not be much grateful etc, while they will have near to zero contribution in helping others, once their job is done they will just vanish.

as vinay has suggested ,a projector and isolation of the HT/audio room is a must
but i definetly dont agree with vinay regarding blue ray player, i too was under the impression that movies dont have repeat value , but let me tell you with blu ray u wud definetly rewatch(may be not the whole movie but certain scenes) multiple times with great pleasure , its like repeated listening to an audio track on a particular audio cd
The quality of bluray player will outbeat media players , spending huge on set up and compromising on quality ---point to consider
