Grats! I have an A2 in my setup and am still in awe by the picture quality. Check out King Kong - has the the best PQ in all of movies that I have come across.

Yeah, I know. I had my Yamaha for 17 years even though I seriously abused it. I may just have to take the plunge like you say.
Good point on the viewing distance. I sit 7.5 feet away and I can't see how it could be any clearer on DVD. And there's really no need for me to go bigger either.

Robb, It's good to hear we have another convert, like Mike I only buy the HD movies that have gotten reviews for stellar picture and sound quality for my home collection , the rest I get from Netflix.

Last HD-DVD movie at Stately Swing Manor: Children of Men. Thumb up! Thanks, Netflix!
I enjoyed Children of Men on HD DVD! I thought the audio was handled really well. It seemed to be well-thought out, where all of the details that came through had significance.

That's good that your Blockbuster rents HD DVD's, I think in the states Blockbuster only rents Blu-ray, at least that's how it is in my area.

Have you tried Zip.ca ? I used them for awhile and it was nice to not need to go out to pick up the movies.

I tried them and found that I was watching too many movies.
