I don't know how anyone can tell anything at a Best Buy. I tried looking at House of Flying Daggers on their display, but could barely make out anything due to all the ambient light bouncing off the screen. The displays aren't in the darker area of the store where the tvs are at.

The best demo material I've seen is that little bit where they show a split-screen comparison between DVD and HD-DVD. Haha. Definitely overexaggerated, but, hey, maybe someone will bite. If they really believe in this stuff, let's see some real split-screen comparisons in those demos...

One observation (which is admittedly meaningless in the grand scheme of things) this week - on Tuesday at my local BB, they had 2 Toshiba HD-DVD players and 2 Samsung Blu-Ray players. Yesterday, they only had 2 Samsung Blu-Ray players.
