1080P

Blue Ray is a screw job anyhow. I have yet to find a single disk that is actually recorded in and native output in 1080P. I thought the big deal and hype was all that space on the disk to allow this. The best I can find is 720P which my Audio/Video receiver upconverts to 1080P. A standard DVD upconverted is only minor hit on quality. When they start giving us what they hyped and promised I might start buying them. Until then, they can keep the over priced and underwelming crap

Blimey!

I have the Sony Blu-Ray r/w drive, but I don't think I have one of these DVDidder upconverters! Larry knows what Steve will make of me.

So it takes a couple years

I am tired of them expecting overnight conversion for the sake of their greedy shareholders. It is good the war is over. When HD DVD was still alive my local video store said they had no plans to carry any HD video. Now that Blue Ray has won they are saying they will soon start having Blue Ray titles to rent. That's great and I will happily rent them and watch them through my PS3. That was on of my reasons to buy it in the first place. Being a minimalist, not a pack rat I like one machine that does multiple functions and that is a good thing. I also did not want the red ring of death machine I deal enough with a blue screen of death on my PC gaming rig.
