Ok, avs has officially lost all credibility.

Anyone who thinks the 360 add-on is acceptable for a home theater environment is nuts. I use it on my computer to watch bonus features to save bulb life on my projector, but once I was done doing my review of the XBOX Elite for UAV, the add-on drive was permanently removed from my viewing room to my office.

I use the 360 add on as a secondary unit in my master bedroom. It looks pretty good on my 46" 1080p LCD @1080i, Frankly I don't see a signifigant difference in PQ between it and my HD-A1 on my 50" SXRD. Maybe my viewing size isn't large enough to see a noticeable difference.

However:

The sound is lacking with no lossless support, DTS out is acceptable...but it aint no TrueHD/LPCM. + the 360 is a lil noisy. I'd still rather it than a Venturer.

I'll give the 360 one thing, it's the fastest HDDVD player out there.

I say for the average person already owning a 360, it aint a bad deal at $180+ 6 flicks. If you want them Transformers and Uni Titles.

I mean no offense, because I know you're neutral, but saying that you'd rather have a 360 other than a Venturer is kind of like saying you'd rather have someone lay your television flat on the floor and drop trow right in the middle of it.

Sometimes those who are the fastest out of the gate are the first to pull a muscle and fall.

To quote a rather well known movie.
