The dedicated remote for the PS3 is $25 from Best Buy or Circuit City. I saw it earlier today for $15 at one of the "gamer" internet sites while I was looking for a component cable for my brother's XBox. Don't know how that compares to your locale as you're in the UK, right?

As to the SD X-men on the Denon vs the HD X-men on the PS3, that's saying interpolated 1080 from 480 looks better than true 1080 resolution. If I had to guess (and not knowing what display was being used, I do), I'd say that the display being used just "bobs" 1080 and all that can be had is 540 resolution. The size of the display is a factor as well because you need at least a 50" display to start seeing the difference at normal seating distances.

The display used was a full HD Samsung 50" screen, but resolution isn't the be all and end all of PQ, otherwise a �100 DVD player would have as good a picture as a �3,000 DVD player and all HD-DVD/BluRay players would have the same PQ.

Similarly, the 50" HD ready Panasonic Viera is prefered over it's FULL HD brethen for PQ by HC magazine, but I also take your point (which I suspected beforehand) that up to 50" screensize, the advantages of HD-DVD or BluRay may not be obvious, especially when compared to the very best DVD players with broadcast quality upscaling.

If I were to get a projector however it would probably be a different tale as the demos I've seen with High Definition on larger screens have been mouth watering.

Best Regards,
