I'm going to agree with Ken; White and Nerdy is Al's best work.

On the topic at hand (OMG!), for me, to some extent it depends upon the depth of market adoption. I simply don't "re-watch" enough movies to warrant the capital cost of a HD/BR player AND purchase of the content. If the content becomes widely available (through rental, Netflix, etc.), that makes ALL the difference to me.

Regarding Nick's experience, I do wonder whether the difference would have been as profound on a smaller screen.

Of course, I need a HD display first.
