Consumer uptake of both of the high definition DVD formats has been, from a Marketing perspective, abysmal (to be charitable).

Perhaps that's because, at long last, the consumer has enough of the MPAA and their ilk trying to sell us the same thing we already own, but at a higher price, and with even more trapdoors to prevent the consumer from exercising his legal rights.

Here's an idea, Hollywood: Try offering us *quality* content without the TURDS (Technology User's Rights Denial Systems, or as you lying bastards like to say, DRM) in.

We're not buying any more TURDS. Got it?

The rise of the Pirate Party should have you shaking in your boots. Arrrr!

I notice one detail that's incorrect: the BD-P1400 does have upscaling.

I just bought this unit and installed it this past week. The upscaling is okay (on dark scenes it has noticeable artifacts). However, the color depth and detail is fantastic from BluRay disks. That's what I'm after, anyway.
