Well, I'll start. I just bought an LG GGW-H20L combo Blu-ray Burner and HD DVD rom, which to me is the best option for those that want to put a foot firmly in the Blu-ray camp but still be able to watch HD DVDs. I also have a (HTCP compliant) 1080p Epson LCD projector and an Asus EN8600GT Silent video card that is suppose to be HDCP compliant, but has dual DVI output (didn't think HDCP and DVI went together).
Software I use is AnyDVD and PowerDVD Ultra (v7.3.3319a which lets me play Blu-ray and HD DVDs from my Hard Drive). I don't have the latest receiver with HDMI inputs so I'm still using SPDIF output so the latest generation audio is down sampled to optimal DTS. My receiver is an old Onkyo THX and speakers are KRIX. This is not the ultimate setup but just a first step into the Blu-ray/HD DVD waters.
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
