Michel - I completely agree with you. I noticed EE early on, and was disappointed to see it. It does lend the picture a harsh, digital look to be sure. Just watched Walk Hard, and that has an absolutely perfect and smooth look,...

Sweet review. I'll be buying this one for sure. Thanks Pete!

Hi Robert, I do have to take you to task on this point, as much as I don't want to. Quote: Originally Posted by Robert Crawford It doesn't matter what you call either format. But they have official names,...

I bought the player from Robert at Value Electronics, for $499 including shipping and two free HD DVD's. From there, a (now defunct!) company called "Shop The States" sent it to me for AU$160, and it only took a few days! So, in all,...

Mate, I felt exactly the same. So, I said bugger it and just ordered one. As soon as it was in stock, I had it a week later. Bought a $120 power converter from Dick Smith, and me and my Panasonic AE700 have been in HEAVEN...
