i just went with netflix. i have received three dvds so far; one HD DVD, one BR & one SD DVD. two were severly scratched up and one of these (HD DVD) would lock up. the BR played flawlessly.

i am not sure where the hub is, but it took a day for the movies to ship to me. when i sent them back it also took a day. this impresses me and i hope the quality of the DVDs gets a bit better.

later.
