    definitely impressive quality, even on a XBOX360 HD-DVD player...

    I am holding out for Samsung UD P5000 (I think)...

    Be strong, Brad! :)
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    alrighty, so i forgot to mention before my girlfriend and i sat down to watch this movie in our matching transformers hats, i treated the room, especially the surrounds with some nice room treatment, AND used a meter to calibrate all channels at an 80db reference. (that's 0 on my avr, and at the listening position, at lap-level. (i have beanbag chairs cause im broke.) so maybe, i could re-do it, and it would sound great...will experiment tomorrow. every other channel sounds just breathtaking, though...i can't wait to watch it while everyone is at work with my windows all the way open! i bet ill give squirrels heart attacks..
