"I watched so many old films in the theaters... lousy quality, but great experience. I get similar sensation when I watch Wages of Fear on my 96" screen at home."I'll bet! And I bet you've got a scaler driving the projector for your 96" screen, too! I'll also wager that you care more about visual quality than you're going to admit... C'mon Vic!

People here seem to miss my point... it was not that quality didn't matter, it was that it doesn't matter *at some point*.To me that point was reached with good DVD's. The VHS tape was irritating often, unless it was a first gen tape - those could look quite good.
My argument is that given the quality level achievable with the best DVD's, I am not gonna miss that little extra that the HD provides, if it doesn't happen. I guess I have bigger concerns.
Couple that fact with another important one - that in all likelyhood what will be available (if ever...) for many years on HD DVD's will be something I will never want to watch, and you now have a complete picture.
I have about a dozen HD channels today. Do I ever watch them? Hardly ever. I did watch the Olympics - an easy choice, given the totally atrocious quality of the standard network cable channel. Otherwise I only use them as conversation piece... turn them on for guests.
In short, the HD DVD is completely irrelevant to my life, and so far nothing stated anywhere makes me feel contrary.
If it happens, I will probably get a few "demo" discs... the ones I will never watch myself voluntarily, but show to the guests.
But many of us are anxious to see the possible increase in image quality because we aren't happy with what we currently have. I'm sure you've got a good scaler/deinterlacer driving your projector... for a 96" screen, I hope you do! The point is this: video output from a Playstation 3 into a reasonably priced projector may soon rival what is available today for much more money (an understatement, for sure). It's undeniably an important development... just not for you (yet)!Cheers
