I'm probably the last one here to get one. The picture quality is unbelievable!

I have a PS3 and tbh I didn't really notice much difference from my previous Sony DVD player which has the 'upconvert' thing that is suppose to increase resolution. Quality is good but not alot difference from what I was previously using and the movies are just priced ridiculously high.

Blu Ray is awesome. When I put bluray discs in my ps3 on the 58 inch plasma it brings a tear to my eye.

No Blu-ray here. Just got a high (720) definition television this past weekend. Since I have yet to pay the extra $10 a month for high definition programming, I have notice no difference at all. I have tried getting the local channels, but since all the local digital channels are still broadcasting in SDTV, I still have not seen a difference.

I did get the HDMI cable, and have that and composit video hooked up so that I can compare them. Guess I need to spend the 10 bucks.
