Thought it was an interesting read and very useful. If anyone has an HTPC, this would be a perfect grab if you wanted HD-DVD playback. Heck, you can buy a PC and the Xbox Add-on and still save money.

Sounds like a good deal to me. I might just pick one up.
Lovin that music year after year.

    That was a glitch with the original japanese version... which appears to be fixed. You'll get the full 1080p if the program is patched.

    What DVD software do you need for this? PowerDVD? What version?
