If you mean that "only average HD" is pretty darn detailed and spectacular, we are in agreement, but the adverb-adjective description of "only average" doesn't usually indicate quality. It seems to me that you are hypercritical of Blu-ray and have preconditioned yourself to be unhappy with the format. But the same can be said of most folks who hang out at AVS.

I hold HD, all formats to a higher standard. They are capable of much more than what we've had for years with DVD, and I expect them to deliver. Hell, even my worst HD DVD, BSG, is better than the DVD, but its still pretty bad for HD. We've seen that the best HD can be sublime, and while I don't expect it 100% of the time, I do expect it more than what we are getting, which in my collection is about 10% for both formats. Yes, average HD still STOMPS SD.
And, for the record, I do not like DNR, and canceled my order of Pan's labyrinth when i found out they used noise reduction on the US versions.

You only think that because you and many other people who hang out at bluray.com are so extreme. They have selected for that kind of person. Yes, I do wish BD had a better selection of titles.

Sadly, HD, all formats, doesn't always deliver. In fact, I find issues with virtually all movies, HD DVD, Blu-ray, and even the movie theater film for that matter. And a lot of those issues can be blamed on the original master tape unfortunately.
I find the movies on the 50G discs consistently come closest to "delivering the goods" than other HD media movies. YMMV.
That is exactly my point. I don't get orgasms just because a movie may be in HD.
I will say though, that Bourne Ultimatum and Blade Runner are better than most of the movies I have on BD-50.
As a side note, I do seem to be relatively insensitive to Edge Enhancement. I think this may be a blessing for me. :-)

Advocating the high-capacity format is logical. Advocating the lower capacity one or both is illogical. It's as simple as that.
> > They have selected for that kind of person. < <
AVS has selected for people who can't admit one format is superior to the other despite a 20 gig disparity in what the formats can hold! Do you have any idea how screwy that is.
> > Yes, I do wish BD had a better selection of titles. < <
It will. It's a relatively new format and judging new formats by available titles is premature until it gets more entrenched.
