Feb 21st 2008 7:44AM About a month ago I bought an LG Blu-ray RW/HD DVD Rom for my HTPC. Now I'm just waiting for a sound card and a version of PowerDVD that supports Dolby True HD and DTS HD output via hdmi (apparently both are on the way).

Ask Engadget HD: What's the ultimate HD movie HTPC setup? {Engadget HD}
Jan 16th 2008 11:32AM Well, I'll start. I just bought an LG GGW-H20L combo Blu-ray Burner and HD DVD rom, which to me is the best option for those that want to put a foot firmly in the Blu-ray camp but still be able to watch HD DVDs. I also have a (HTCP compliant) 1080p Epson LCD projector and an Asus EN8600GT Silent video card that is suppose to be HDCP compliant, but has dual DVI output (didn't think HDCP and DVI went together).
Software I use is AnyDVD and PowerDVD Ultra (v7.3.3319a which lets me play Blu-ray and HD DVDs from my Hard Drive). I don't have the latest receiver with HDMI inputs so I'm still using SPDIF output so the latest generation audio is down sampled to optimal DTS. My receiver is an old Onkyo THX and speakers are KRIX. This is not the ultimate setup but just a first step into the Blu-ray/HD DVD waters.

Jan 12th 2008 12:54AM Thanks for the heads up, I just went and bought myself seven more Blu-Ray movies (for half price) after buying my first (ever) Blu-Ray movie yesterday. Next month I'm buying the LG Blu-Ray / HD DVD combo drive and I already have a collection of eight Blu-Ray movies.
