Blu-ray still my fav! But how many of us are "dual" now?

I love MOVIES! i don't care what kind of disc its on, as long as it looks good on my TV.

I think most of us can agree brand loyalty isn't at issue. But then, nor is simply "loving movies" -- you can "love movies" on ordinary DVD or VHS. The question is how you want to experience those movies you love: with mediocre VC-1 video and iPod-quality audio, or (as with the best BDs) high-bitrate AVC encodes and beauteous lossless sound? Which standard of quality do you want to encourage?

Some people can't tell the difference on their existing hardware; others can't tell the difference at all. At any rate, many (perhaps most) people on this forum don't merely "love movies"; they love movies at the best quality technologically possible at present. That's why they're into hi-def to begin with.

It's one thing to tolerate certain HD-DVD ports onto Blu on the ground that those are the best available versions. It's another actively to support the poor quality high def represented by HD-DVD.
