It takes a much larger screen to take advantage of high definition. It's funny what people consider too expensive for certain improvements. Some people don't mind spending a whole lot for a power cord or interconnects but balk at paying for real differences.
Denon has TWO Blu-ray players coming out, both were on display @ CEDIA this past week.

Rwear, I agree, you sort or kid yourself thinking 1080p is that much an improvement on a 40" set. Step up to 70'+ and you will be agape!

I'm happy to pay for improvements after they've been proven to have staying power. Both Blu-Ray and HD-DVD are walking a tight rope.

However, if one chooses to spend his money on improvements that may be short term, then that's his prerogative. I'm simply sharing a personal viewpoint that clearly may not apply to everyone.
The other Denon is a transport only model.
There is nothing in the world of audio/video or computers that has staying power. But, I understand your point Tvad.
For a variety of reasons, I haven't purchased a HD DVD player of either (or both) formats, but as an interested observer, I've been impressed with the number of times I see ads for new releases on both standard and a HD format DVD. Purely anecdotally, it seems like there are a lot of titles being released in HD format. I agree that either or both formats could become boat anchors in the future, but it doesn't seem like either will be as limited in use as an SACD player, for example. Certainly, as long as the PlayStation has a Blu-Ray drive in it, the format will have content.
