Re: Oh, give us a break!

I can understand your pessimism. Sony and others in the Blue ray consortium promised machines much earlier, and Sony promised over a hundred titles once their machine was introduced. All Blue ray members announced machines in the $500 to $700 price range (list price). I haven't seen those cheaper machines yet.
That being said, the sales of 50 inch flat screens is rapidly approaching the numbers for 42 inch screens. Once you've seen the difference between the signals of a regular DVD and a true HD model, you become a convert. Still, I am not happy with the selection of movies available nor their $30 list prices.
I did own a second production run of the Sam Sung player and was very happy with the picture, even with regular DVD's. Curiously, as I pointed out earlier, the digital audio comes out phase correct whereas all other DVD players I have had spits out an inverted signal with the same discs.
As TV sets grow larger, and because Sony has finally come to it's senses in allowing the Blue Ray to be backwards compatible, there will be a shift towards that format.
