Nice - you bought a copy of Army of Darkness!  My girlfriend still hasn't given me back my DVD copy.

How is it that you have so many different nice TVs but have shitty HTiB's set up for all of them instead of buying something nice?

The visual difference between component (or VGA) and HDMI/DVI is significant and very well worth it. Especially if the TV has to upscale to a 1080p set, it creates less upscaling artefacts. And the signal is clearer and sharper.

VGA to DVI/HDMI only reduces any artifacts introduced from DAC process or noise from poorly shielded cables. Unless the source is doing more than 24bit color and the DAC for the VGA side cannot handle it, the colors should look pretty much the same on both.

Do not put component and VGA in the same camp. It's a world apart in picture quality for color resolution (4:2:2 vs 4:4:4).

I've never seen Sky Captain.  Looked like something decent to show off HD DVD and looked a little interesting in the commercials.

Well, now I have something do tomorrow morning.

What would you suggest picking up that's not on my list?  Those are just the ones I saw that interested me.  I don't even know what else is out on HD DVD.

Can't believe I spent $300 on a HDDVD player, even with the 12 free movies.  :yuck
