Updates are also required on the Blu Ray players though too, maybe not for the HP movies but in general they need to be kept updated as well.

My PS3 is connected to the internet but I didn't bother with the HD player. I ended up downloading an image file from Toshiba and burning a disc to do the update. And no it doesn't say update needed, it just says the disc is the wrong format for the player. The HP discs came with a little note saying that they probably wouldn't play and you'd need an update. I probably would have figured it out, but thanks to the note I knew immediately what I had to do.

I have the HD Blade Runner set coming from Amazon - hopefully it will be here today.

I've spoiled my Dad. He hates going back home and watching standard DVD's after seeing stuff in HD and BR at my place. He's getting ready to one up me by getting a 52" Sony and at least an HD player so he can get Transformers.

I'm buying a 46" Samsung in the next couple weeks :eek:

I'm watching LOST in BR right now and it is beautiful. One of the better transfers I've seen.

I had the same experience. I thought that the high def discs looked nice and all, but I really didn't feel the difference profoundly until I put in my first regular DVD after several months of HD, and it looked like a VHS tape.

I bought a 46" Samsung a few weeks ago. It's absolutely beautiful....and I bought an HD-DVD player by the way, to comment on the HD VS. Blu Ray theme of the thread. The Toshiba AV30, and it's incredible.

As far as the updates some were talking about, can you connect wirelessly if you have a wireless network? Can I just buy a regular wireless connect point and plug it into my HD player, or do I need something special and akin to the HD DVD player?
 
Amazon has some great movies BOGO for HD right now (first 4 HP movies, Hot Fuzz, Knocked Up, to name a few)

Also has the 10 free movies with purchase of an HD player deal again.

I've never done it myself, but I've heard many stories about their 30 day price guarantee (they match anyone else's price or will even match their own if the price drops)

I guess I'll find out for sure tomorrow.
