>> HD DVD is superior to what you can see with your system. In fact, both formats may be wasted on your system. <<

A silly statement unless you know how far from my screen I sit and factor in that and other considerations. I do get a better picture with blu-ray and HD broadcasts on the 6-yr old Pioneer than my buddy gets with his new 1080p Fujitsu. In fact he's planning to by my plasma when I upgrade to the new Kuro model.

>> Talk about a waste of time and money. <<

I think not. My plasma was one of the best investments I've ever made, for sheer enjoyment factor for the past six years. No, it doesn't have the best resolution available anymore (for years it did), but other parameters, including contrast ratio, are still competitive or better than many other plasmas on the market. The new kuros do blow it away, though. I'll pull the trigger on one within the next few months.
