Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Good points; I reached a similar conclusion with the Desperado Superbit.

I agree that the Superbit releases are best served by high-def digital television displayed via a progressive scan DVD player. [Note: I don't believe your Technics A-10 is a progressive scan model, although from what I've read, it's a fine DVD player; just take my word for it, Superbit is kicked up several more notches in progressive scan over a digital TV.]

Like you pointed out, unless one is wild about the release rebuying would probably not be desireable. Furthermore, if an upcoming release has loads extras (i.e., as do so many Special Editions & Director's Cut versions), as are often provided on multiple DVD-sets, one might prefer the slightly less detailed version in order to have the added features and materials.

I still suspect, as I indicated in an earlier post, that if the Superbit thing catches on there'll be 2 or 3 disc sets provided with Superbit movies on one disc and extras on the 2nd and, if needed, 3rd disc. Since the Superbit editions aren't currently over priced these DeLux SB versions could still be kept reasonable without creating the obvious quandry of deciding between the two separate releases or buying both sets.

My 2 bits. :o)

Cheers,
