It's a great investment if you have an interest in National Geographic-like documentaries. Good video demo material, not so with the audio but given the content, who cares ?

I don't see HD-DVD winning this one...my bet is on Sony. Here is an interesting read: http://www.thedigitalbits.com/articles/soapbox/soap060107.html

  That link, if somewhat dated, says it all. And it's gotten worse for HD-DVD since.
  
  I like this quote posted yesterday from a High def digest forum.
  
  "Holy crap. That's 2 major distributors, 6 smaller ones, and at least 2 retailers that have gone Blu-ray exclusive or neutral in, what, two weeks?"

Only criticism is a very subtle strobing effect on occasional dark footage. Overall, the picture and sound is striking and captivating, as on the HD Discovery broadcasts.
