perhaps, but I saw the same softness with a Toshiba player

I watched clips from batman begins, end of days and matrix revolutions on a Toshiba dedicated player and found the same softness (and this was projected using the JVC D-ILA projector).

Now what I can't tell you is if the problem lies in the studios producing the discs -- what one of the other posters mentioned. If the HD DVD studios just aren't doing as good of a job as the blu-ray folks.

That said, I do find the audio on HD DVD to be more enveloping than for blu-ray so there are trade-offs (albeit, minor differences in both cases).

By the way, the add-on HD DVD box on the xbox really doesn't produce all that different a picture than the Toshiba dedicated player so I'm not sure I'd characterize it so poorly as you suggest. That said, it is (the add on player) very noisy when it plays.
