I'm not that fussed about it either to be honest. Sure, it looks better - but I'm perfectly happy with how the majority of current gen discs look now. If I wanted to see every single zit on a persons face in unbelievable detail, I'd grab a microscope and look at myself in the mirror 
I certainly won't be in a rush to upgrade - although I guess I'll probably have to, or our site will get left behind

My main gripe with the format is that its not going to make too many movies look much better than they already do. Like a movie like the Godfather for example, it was never shot digitally or had any cgi or anything like that. Theres a ceiling as to how far it can go. Now, getting a whole season of tv shows on one disk, well thats just makes me happy.
What does being shot digitally or having CGI have to do with it? 35mm film is way, way above the resolution of SD, and almost double that of HD.

Not exactly, they're just talking about using a single layer disc. It'll be like DVD was originally, where most movies came out on a single layered DVD-5 because the facilities and mastering know-how wasn't there to do dual layered yet.
Besides, it all comes down to whatever codec a company chooses to use. Some will use more capacity then others. I think Blu-ray has 2 or 3 of them for manufactureres to choose from.

Don't you wanna wait for the High Def DVD? Of course then you have to wait for the High Def special edition. After enjoying that release, then your be especially pleased with the High Def extended version with additional footage never before seen. Then comes the Trilogy on High Def!! High Anxiety! Just can't wait to buy another DVD Tower. Oh no, I don't have building permits yet. Yikes!!
Did you just repeat that on another thread???

Actually I'd say that is indicative of an avid customer. The sort of person who Blue-Ray and HD-DVD are banking on to lead the charge. In which case they do have a problem. If they are unable to get the interest of early format jumpers they're not going to sell well as only early format jumpers are going to buy the expensive hardware
