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.
