TECHNOCOY--- With regards to your comments in post #56 .......... x2!!! You are absolutely right on target with everything you said my friend!!!

Blu-Ray is true 1080p; while down-loaded HD material over the internet broadband is 1080i (at best). I am a videophile purist, and I would much rather watch an actual Blu-Ray disc in true uncompressed 1080p, than a convenient 1080i version piped down a cable that is compressed in both picture & sound quality.

That's why I always "rent" an actual Blu-Ray disc from NetFlix via the U.S. Mail, and never use the internet broadband pipeline (eventhough I have the capability). Afterwards; if I find a movie that becomes a personal favorite, then I'll go out and buy the Blu-Ray disc and add it to my permanent video collection.

Blu-Ray is here to stay as a software medium as evidenced by the major electronic manufacturer's producing playback hardware.
