Picked up a PS3 last week along with The Departed and Casino Royale. Haven't had a chance to even open the PS3 box, but planning an install for this weekend. I have a 60 inch Sony SXRD set. Unfortunately, my surround system can't be upgraded just yet so I'm stuck with a non-HDMI receiver for now.

Yeah, I know ... pathetic ... a true HD virgin. So be gentle! I want my first time to be an eye-popping, life-altering, can't believe what I'm seeing moment. Hope my expectations aren't too high.

So what was your reaction when seeing BD for the first time. Evolutionary or revolutionary? Incremental or exponential? Unfortunately, there is only one first time ever, and mine is imminent ...
