And as for Netflix, I've already put off my rentals of "Superman
Returns" and MI:3 until that [choose one: HD/Blu] player arrives, just
to be able to have at least one new rental title to play on it.

(Robin Hood, Unforgiven and Excalibur on Warner HD are all very well,
but I'm waiting to see something remotely appealing that I don't already
own...Have to plan ahead in advance.)
