The Sony player is available and on display at my store. I found that its picture was good but not great (for HD) Also Blu-ray movies are no longer blurry but allot of the transfers are still grainy. The computer generated stuff looks great though. HD-DVD is still better in the picture quality department since most of there titles are imaculate by comparison. Ced
Thanks for the update Ced. How does the BDP-S1 compare to the PS3 in your opinion? Of course I'm referring to BD movie playback.
