Matter of fact I bought my HDA2 when they first started shipping. I
also bought the Sony BDP-S300 when it first started shipping.

I enjoy movies on both in Hidef, virtually identical in performance and
software availability.

The only practical differences between the two formats is price and
which titles are there. The potential is there for BD to be better, but
it isn't being used. And which has better titles is strictly an opinion.
