Blu Ray is too freakin expensive!! I've seen an HD DVD demo with my own eyes and it looked fantastic. Why would I pay more for Blu Ray? I'll personally own both and a Universal Player sounds like the ticket but I'm not impressed at all with Blu Ray pricing.
As for the 1080i that is such a non-issue. If you have a 1080p monitor then the chances are likely it's built in scaler is upscaling to 1080p. The Sony XRD 1080p sets do this. Are you losing quality? No...on properly flagged material a 1080i signal is properly recontructed and will display with full clarity on a 1080p set.
Jim that was a good post btw.
Here's to LG making an affordable Universal Player for those of us sick of the shananigans.
