Congratulations! Yeah, those Oppos are nice upconverters; which model(s) do you own?

Ummm, you mean HD-DVD (yeah, yeah, I know, ...you were being facetious). BTW, they both have blue lasers and both technologies are more or less worthwhile investments, but if you do take that plunge be sure to check out some first hand reviews of movie releases; look for screen shot comparisons.

Some Blu-ray & HD-DVD releases are HUGE improvements over standard definition, even those previously released title in so-called "Definitive Editions" scaled up to 1080I or 1080P over excellent performers like the Oppos; others you'd be hard pressed to notice that much improvement.
