I have sumed up some things here. To do lists for both formats.

I still can't believe you haven't put your money where your mouth is and at least gone to WalMart and get the $300 RCA Toshiba clone or something like that.


In any event, I'd like to know: How much of either format have you actually personally seen with your own eyes? What discs? How much time? Displays? Players? etc. etc. How recently?

All those kinds of questions...

I've seen the HD-XA1 multiple times. I've seen Serenity, Million Dollar Baby, The Last Samurai and plenty of trailer. Not extensive experience and I'll admit it but enough of a comparison to understand why the prevailing opinion is HD DVD has superior quality movies although Blu-Ray is making up for lost ground. I'm really thinking that I'm going A2 in January because I like the idea of having the TrueHD support and HDMI into a AVR that I want next year as well.

My money will indeed be going into building a little setup. I've given Blu-Ray a chance to win my hear but they want more money than this other lady I've got my eye on.
