I keep seeing basically lukewarm endorsements with all sorts of qualifications for any of the HD and Blue Ray players. I can't get excited about any of this expense and bother until the reviewers are really blown out of their chairs, and will settle for my 720p projector displaying 480p discs until that happens.

Now, come up with a hi def player that can play Beowulf in full 3D and we can talk. There are things that do or will blow me out of my chair but not the current version of hi def DVD. Unfortunately for the Hi Def manufacturers, I am not alone on this and belive that most consumers agree with me.

If I am not clamoring to go this direction on my 100-inch screen why should the consumer with the paltry 50-inch flat panel be enthusiastic?
