I'd imagine it would require a pretty powerful pc/notebook to be able to process all that smoothly. Nonetheless, a step in the right direction .....

......everywhere that the 360 was launched ofically. The console is not even launched here so I don't think MS will bring it in. I know that it can be used with a PC but the add-on player is an Xbox 360 accessories first and foremost.

Cool. That's a pretty substantial first buy. My first purchase was just Serenity. King Kong's audio quality is superb and will give your subs a good workout. Riddick is also regarded as an AV reference title but I didn't get it.

I have Last Samurai and Aeon Flux on BD, so did not pick up the HD-DVD version.
