    I've got almost 100 in both formats. Still have 2 HD-A2s, and 360 HD-DVD add on.
    Yeah I have Bluray and HD-DVD..but sometimes I do find that HD-DVD has better audio options sometimes...And the video on night time scenes in a lot of their movies are superb....

      Yeah, import HD-DVDs usually had better audio than those released here in the states. The Island is my favorite HD-DVD import.

      After the 2nd or 3rd year, almost all blu rays came with lossless audio. You have to be careful with Canadian import blu rays. Sin City, Blade trilogy, etc.

            A Nightmare on Elm Street is impressive for being so old,it's no Avatar visual wise but compared to other old movies I've seen it's great. Go buy that instead of seeing the remake.

                Do you need netflix streaming? If not, you have several options in the $100-175 range.

                  Just got done with Casino Royale. God that movie booms. First time I've seen it in our home theater. The home theater is in our basement and someone upstairs told me their bath water was rippling.

                    Did you get the two-disc version? The sound is much better in that one than the initial release for the movie (picture is hardly better).

                      I have the single disc. If the sound gets better my house will collapse into itself.

                      But now that I know this, I might have to trade my single disc in for some cash and pick up the 2 disc, which I've wanted anyways because I like special features. Thanks for the tip.

                        Not really, as we recently switched from Netflix to Blockbuster.

                            Yeah, WB really has done a great job with their older, classic movies IMO.
