Yeah thats sort of what I'm trying to avoid, jumping into the whole HD dvd / Blu ray war. However if I where to jump in I am leaning way more toward hd dvd than blu ray. Don't ask me why people. I've done unavoidable reading and thats what I've choosen if drafted in this war.

Is the oppo the best uc player around. Of course there no way to tell the scaler quality in my tv. However my dvd player is pretty old (a JVC xv-s65) it does say digital progressive scan on it. I never knew it was a progressive scan player till last night. I did check out Episode 3 and The Incredibles on my dvd player last night and could tell some obvious quality differences. I have seen hd dvd and br so yeah I know theres still a huge quality jump to be had.

Oh Jesse sorry to hijack your thread.
