jp_stargazer,

Why not just get a good dvd upconverter to breathe new life into your dvd collection? The new Oppo 983 is only about $400 and region free (and converts pal to ntsc). I only watch a few broadcast tv shows and they are in high-def so the Oppo seems to be a better buy than the $800 edge. Everything else I watch is either Blu-ray or DVD. But, if you have cable or satellite to run through there too then it is probably worth it.
