I just read the 3 reviews above. I'm absolutely stunned. How can Sony be so short-sighted as to release movies that are clearly inferior to HD-DVD? Honestly I was expecting Blu-Ray to equal or surpass HD-DVD in PQ quality. Some movies have no extras? They only thing I can guess is that they are relying on mpeg2 and single layer media. To get the movies to fit on a single disc, they have to compress them. They don't have a second shot at this to get it right. No one is going to spend a grand or more to watch cable-quality HD movies.

With all the *superior* technology like native 1080p and greater disk space they were touting, to mess up like this is almost unforgivable. I thought they were playing from behind a bit already, but with this they will have a much harder time. Honestly it looks as if Blu-Ray has lost the war before it even started. Now I see why they pulled titles and delayed their players again.
