I believe that Amir did some crowing regarding BB's low bitrate as well... as I remember Amir talking about how great BB looked at those low bitrates... and how they could get movies even lower in time.

I don't believe in *screenshot* science either, but I do like looking at some of the screencaps from various sites as they do give you an idea of what the movie is going to look like... like Oliver later says. For example, I have yet to see a film look good in screenshots, and it look bad on my HDTV.
The problem comes in when you try to use screenshots to "support" your theory, or use it to go looking for problems... instead of using them as a sample of what it could look like. For example, I have yet to see a film look bad in screenshots, that it doesn't look better on my HDTV... well, "Face/Off" being an exception.
"Ghandi" does indeed look good in screen shots, and looks even better on the clip I downloaded from Sony's BD-Live site and viewed on my HDTV. I expect the BD will be even better... though I'm afraid I will have to wait a little longer before I pick it up as I'm trying to save up for some better speakers and I had to use some of the money I had saved up for something the other day.
