Well, doby, we really can't be buying for the future in this day and age, can we? You're not really suggesting that, are you? How many people here have been bitten by purchasing the latest and greatest, only to find it eventually didn't have one feature they now need?
I'm not going to fall into that trap. If I ever buy a BD player, it will be because it offers some thing(s) my HD does not (that I want), at an affordable price. As it has stood since inception, and as it currently stands, the 66% capacity difference is meaningless in the real world, and should not be a compelling reason to purchase BD. Imho. This was touted last year when they increased their capacity. It has shown no appreciable pq whatsoever in the real world. That's all I'm saying doby. It is part of the BD hype.
