"It takes a much larger screen to take advantage of high definition. It's funny what people consider too expensive for certain improvements. Some people don't mind spending a whole lot for a power cord or interconnects but balk at paying for real differences."
Amen. Blu-ray is a HUGE improvement over standard DVD, if you have a large enough 1080p screen to appreciate it. In fact, I'm hard pressed to think of anything in audio that costs $600 (the price of a PS III) and makes even a fraction of as much of a difference. And mind you, I am a 2 channel guy and not really into HT. The problem I've had, however, is that the PS III seems to be very finicky as a Blu-Ray player. I've returned two so far out of frustration.
