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

That doesn't make sense.

What you fail to mention here is having actually seen any Blu-Ray discs for yourself, as I expected.

In other words: You have not.

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.

I know about your forthcoming marriage and I know how expensive that can get, and that's all good , but how can you write all the things you have when it appears you've never even seen any Blu-Ray for yourself, including any of the many recent good discs and multiplatform discs?


You literally have no personal, firsthand frame of reference if you have yet to see any BD for yourself vs. parroting and believing other people's opinions off the Internet.
