Everytime I go to the store to see a Blu ray Demo (Samsung player) I see a crappy picture. I mean I could tell any difference in the Blu Ray and standard dvd! Then ehen I look at the Toshiba HD DVD player I can see the difference between HD DVD and standard DVD! I saw a King Kong demo on HD DVD and was blown away, yet house of daggers on Blu Ray looked like nothing special. The only other difference I can see is that the HD DVD was on a plasma and the Blu was on a LCD. However whenever I see I Blu Ray demo of an actual movie I can't see the "High Definition." I do think I see it in the HD DVD format though. Anyone really like the BluRay, perhpas even think it's better?
