I just picked up this unit as well last night. Unfortunately, they would not sell me any movies at Best Buy so I cannot give any feedback. The only reason I picked it up is the analog signal through component. I want to enjoy the HD content while I can. 1080P doesn't matter because only recent televisions accept the signal. Once they force you to use a DVI or HDMI cable for piracy issues, I will be a very angry consumer who wishes they would pick one type on encoding and stick with it. It is so fustrating to spend hard earned cash on technology which will be obsolete in a few years. I understand I am taking a chance with HD DVD, but I did not think my HDTV would be obsolute in a few years when I first purchased it. In the meantime, I will be enjoying my HD picture with my Toshiba player.
