Has anyone taken the plung? I'm also curious about people who bought
the HD-DVD before this offer if you are happy with it. Especially
owners of rear projection sets that run 1080i native..

When I bought mine I had it connected to a 1080i rear projection set
and while it looked nice, it was not significantly different from a
480p DVD to justify the purchase price.

My initial impression can be seen here:

However, when I upgraded my TV to 1080p the difference was amazing.
Yes, part of it could be having a better TV (moving from rear
projection to DLP), but even switching between 1080i or 480p to 1080p
the differences are amazing.
