I leave my HD DVD and BR players on all the time. Boot up problem solved!

Loading discs, the BR player loads discs a little quicker but both are somewhat slow.

It seems to me video quality is the same as before since you are deinterlacing at a 60hz refresh rate, you are not arriving at a true one frame/ next frame even sequence for out put- youre better off with one of these new video processors that take in the 1080i@60hz and deinterlaces it to get the proper frames and can output at 24/48/72.

I am running my projector now at 48hz and you guys are right- I cant go back to 60hz. It looks unnatural- the 48hz has some judder as movies are shot at only 24fps and this is too slow for absolutely fluid motion IMHO- but at 48hz the results are really smooth and very film like.

It seems to me this might be an opportunity to get a 1st gen player if prices are down on them and you can live with longer boot times...
