Thanks for the notes on blue-ray and the link in the next post.

Part of the reason I'm now curious about better formats is that I'm increasing my drop-down screen size from 84" (4:3) to 110" (16:9). I was more than happy with the picture quality at 84", but do fear I may not be so at 110". My screen should be arriving this coming week, so I'll see soon. I am not a videophile by any means, and am fairly easily satisfied with image quality.
ALL blue players have fans? Dang. :)
As for the PS3, my philosophy is that if you pay $200 for a PS3 that's built to play games, or $200 for a dedicated blue-ray player, there's a likely chance the dedicated player will perform better for the audio and video portion.
I'm not sure what you're referring to re multi-channel analog; I use my 2 front channels and a dedicated CDP only for music listening. Do I need multi-channel analog for blue-ray...?
