Paul,
Don't blame me for your new addiction- blame Mark H! smile

Manus,
thanks for the interesting points and reading.

I had some friends over and showed them HD DVD/ BRD and DVD via the Kaleidescape and none felt the HD sources were vastly superior. Note- this is on a 3+ year old 1280x720 1 chip DLP. I am convinced of the technical superiority of these formats but I am not convinced of the commercial viability.

Btw- I watched this HD DVD last night- Equilibrium. Its a kind of poor mans Matrix. Some solid Hollywood names for what looks like a Japanese market release. I found the image to be very good and the sound to be also very good- not the best surround- but still very good. Expensive, so I can't urge all to buy it, but if you want more software and like action movies and are willing to accept a plot somewhere in the "Aeon Flux" sphere then this is for you. I liked it! smile
