" ...you wanted the cheap player, casablanca and matrix..." - 1 partial fact out of 3 assertions...

... seems about par for your putt-putt coarse. No offense, 'Dory', but it's quite amusing that your own memory apparently has about as much vacant space as the SONY superior capacity claims you tout during one of your fan-boy pompompous rants. The irony is that if your attention span really is that short, then you'd probably be better off looking at still pictures than watching something which displays too much information to assimilate! ;0)

Here's a clue: Matrix was never mentioned by your's truly as having a place on my must-have list, and the classic Casablanca is just one of several important films exclusive to HD that I listed! BTW, the Toshiba player's price point was NOT my first consideration; in fact, ultimately it wasn't even a deciding factor (the 5 disc giveaway was appealing, but a reasonable price-point was just icing on a very tasty cake).

FTR, the titles I mentioned were (pay attention, there may be a quiz later!): John Carpenter's The Thing, Forbidden Planet, Casablanca (which was on the 5 free disc list, BTW), and Star Trek The Original series (1st season), and just to make the oxides shed from your dopamine challenged memory that much quicker, I'll add to that Joss Whedon's Serenity. :o)

Oh, and while I would agree that the original Matrix is a great motion picture visually, as a series Matrix jumped the shark big-time after the first entry, so it isn't currently on my must have list. Now, I may add Batman Begins to my HD short list; it's the best Batman flick to date. BTW, is that even available on Blu?

Cheers,
AuPh
