Where are you located in Canada? Stores in Toronto have copies. I've seen them at multiple stores throughout the city, including Future Shop (Empress Walk) and Best Buy (Dundas and Bay).

The difference will really depend on your display. I previously had a Toshiba 46HX83. The difference was noticeable, but not huge. I recently upgraded to a Sony 50" SXRD and the difference is night and day. Bottom line is that I stopped buying DVD releases and switched to HD only...

I guess my worry is that the speaker will be on the bottom shelf, placing the speaker nearly a foot away from the screen. Also, I'm only 7' from the TV and there are two small ottomans on the floor. You can see a pic at the following URL. http://goldensdomain.com/myplace/sli...ng%20Room.html...

I'm certain there are other treads regarding this topic, but the search function seems to get stuck in a loop when I use it. I just ordered a Sony 50" SXRD TV (KDS50A2000). I'm going to need a place to put my Polk Audio CS300 center channel speaker. I'd like to keep it on top of the TV if...

No problem with my PS3. Have you installed the 1.3 system update?

I just finished watching my copy. Worked flawless on my Toshiba HD-A1.

This is a current limitation of the PS3 itself and it not caused by your setup. The fact it doesn't pass blacker than black is only something that affects calibration. It will not affect video playback. What does after playback is black and white crush. After testing various disks, I'm pretty...

No. It's because the library isn't good on the PS3 and won't be for a while to come. Nearly all the games can be had in better versions on the 360. The only reason I'd recommend the PS3 to someone right now is for use as a Blu-Ray player. It's great at that task. Too bad Sony shot themselves...

But there's a huge advantage if you've interested in gaming as well. I'm not a MS fanboy. Hell, I own all three current consoles. The Xbox is hands down the better gaming system at the moment. I believe it will continue to be until well in to next year.

Is anyone connecting their PS3 using HDMI -> DVI? I'm wondering if it has the same colorspace issue as the Toshiba HD-DVD player.

It's a shame that nearly all information found on Tom's site can be summerized like that. I remember when it was a site you could trust. Those days are long gone. On that note, I agree the race is still on. I think HD-DVD does have a leg up at this point, but it's still a close race. I have...

OMG. I would absolutely love to have the Star Trek movies in HD!!!! Please let that happen!!!!

I couldn't imagine completely getting rid of my DVD collection in one go. My collection is safe on the shelf while it slowly gets replaced by HD counterparts.

I'll try Walmart later this week. I went to HMV (I work downtown) and they were even further behind with their stock. I went to Sam's and was told they had the titles listed in their system for Oct 17th. While I'd really like to have them for the weekend, I'd still be happy if they show up...

I went out to pickup Batman Begins, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Corpse Bride and Robin Hood today. Not a single store had them. Not only did they not have them, but they had no indication they were coming in the near future. Anyone have any information about this?
