The French one sounds fantastic, but the picture is a little grainier with more compression artifacts than the r1. The Japanese version has an improved picture plus a full bitrate DTS track, best version of the two. The French...

OK we get it Craig, you don't like PAL speedup. Get over it!

I find it hilarious that people with component input only HD sets are now being labeled 'early adopters'. These sets have been around for over 10 years now! The fact that component has been the most visible standard for delivering HD...

Not to mention the attraction of modding an xbox to run Xbox Media Center. I use mine as my mp3/aac library, and I convert all my HD recordings to DivX 720p format which the xbox handles beautifully! It upscales dvd to 720p and 1080i...
