Fine, BluRay Wins. Any good units that play BR and DVD?

well, i'm officially drooling. I don't care about region-encoding, as that's never been an issue for me. For the past few years, I've made a concerted effort to pear-down my movie collecting. and I intend to continue that with Blu-Ray in the future ... only purchasing a movie if I love, love, love and love it.

Sheeh, Netflix means I can see any movie or tv show within a day or two, and that will get faster as downloadable becomes the norm in years to come. As for the discs I own ... any one disc is likely to get played behaps two or 3 more times In.My.Entire.Remaining.Life ... with a handful of titles getting a bit more play than that paltry average.

Upshot ... owning movies on disc is, with no offense meant to others, a kind of silly, money-sucking hobby.

Something tells me I don't need something as robust as the Oppo, but I'm very interested in having my existing DVDs look as good as possible ... as I plan to replace less than 1% of those with BluRay versions.

Too bad I don't have any SACD titles. I was impressed with that music format. If I buy the Oppo, I'll try to get my hands on 4 or 5 titles from ... somewhere? That would be a minor bonus. But, um, well, Five Hundred Bucks, huh?
