GhostDoggy... All the reviews of the HD-DVD movies have been MUCH better than those of the Blu-Ray movies... even ones in 1080p!!! Toshiba has done right by the consumer here... they have made a product using many of todays standards that fills the need for HD Movies and done so VERY well... in the reviews 1080i looks just as good to the eye as 1080p... its not about being future proof its about putting something out that people want at a price they can and will afford. Why Sony has to charge twice as much for the basically the same technology makes no sense to me... they see some new technology out there and try to apply it to something... look at the cell and the PS3... just because they think the cell is a cool new technology they are going to try to build a game system around it...

Toshiba set out to see if they could make a new format that wasn't cost prohibative that fulfilled the need... Sony saw and expensive new techonology and said... "hey... how can we make people buy this... I know lets make it play HD movies" and so far it is proving to be the inferior of the two regardless of storage capacity.
