I'm not rushing to judment - hell, my setup is so lame that I doubt I'll notice anything bad. It's just disappointing to hear negative reports about the picture quality, is all.
Well, I honestly am not one who can tell much difference between DD and DTS, so I'd rather get as many extras as possible as long as there's DD 5.1. As for the HBO doc - I usually like them, even if they are fluff. They can be really good, such as "Into the Breach" (Saving Private Ryan)...
Sucks that no reviews are allowed until release date, but I won't be waiting around for them before I go pick it up. Just a week and a half away - can't wait!
