Also HD XBOX/PS3 are crazy... heads and shoulders above SD.

By and large for a movie the make or break has nothing to do with picture or sound. It has to do with the acting, directing and script. For some reason I don't much care about the HD movie experience compared to regular DVD. I do care about regular TV vs HDTV. I figure the reason is because the jump from a decent DVD player on a decent HD TV up to HD-DVD (or blu-ray) is not as significant as regular TV to HDTV which I sort of compare to what would be like to go from VHS to HD-DVD (or Blu-ray).
People have to care about HDTV first before going HD for movie viewing and surprisingly few people have HDTV channels. They are perfectly content with an HDTV and good digital cable feed.
btw. do you watch regular TV channels on your HDTV using a cable box or with the cable plugged directly into the TV? If you plug the cable directly into the TV you should get similar or better quality compared to the same on a regular TV. At least I do. If you watch those channels through a cable box they will look like crap.
