Weird, Tony...hope you get yours soon! Maybe they just ship in regards to date of order? I don't know....you should get it soon.

Well, I missed the boat on that deal...but Walmart has the best retail price I saw today at $59.96. Best Buy was a whopping $72.95. Just to let you all know, Walmart is beginning to increase their selection of HD DVD and Blu-ray. However, I did read the shelf tags that were placed for tomorrow and there is no "V for Vendetta" or "Excalibur."

If you still have a working LD player, try out the MI LD with it's PCM dolby pro-logic track and if you have DPL-II on your amp, use it. Would be nice to hear what you think the difference is between that and the new HD-DVD track. The PCM track, I remember, is VERY good and dynamic. I would guess that seperation is not as good as a pure 5.1 mix but try it.

Hey Mattias,

Its funny because since my turntable is unusable now I was going to pull out the laser disc player and hook it back up. I now have room since I will put it on top of the rack where the turntable was. My reciever does not have DPL-2 but the next one will most likely have it. For now I am using a plain old Yamaha RX-V995 that needs to be upgraded badly. It just not all that great anymore, its nothing special.

I think I will try watching MI on LD today as long as the LD player does not take a dump on me. That needs to be taken in for a problem as well. I have to tap the front of the player for it to start spinning up. It makes a wierd noise and will kick the disc back out if I do not tap it and get it to spin.

Do it. Would be fun to "hear" the difference in soundtrack on the old format and the new.
