PS3 number 1 fan
I'm still not used to the "soap opera effect" that comes with hi-def movies (both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray). I've watched extended pieces of movies at BestBuy, Circuit City, and so on and quite often -- in varying scenes -- the "reality" of the image makes it look like a Soap Opera. I'm not saying it is bad -- just different. Film on screen as a very different look to it. I saw it in several places in Spiderman 3 as we as Batman. It seems to be evident on just about any high quality 1080P set... I guess it is something you get used to.
I hate trolls.
Systems I currently own: 360, PS3, Wii, DS Lite (2)
Systems I've owned: PS2, PS1, Dreamcast, Saturn, 3DO, Genesis, Gamecube, N64, SNES, NES, GBA, GB, C64, Amiga, Atari 2600 and 5200, Sega Game Gear, Vectrex, Intellivision, Pong. Yes, Pong.

Then you get used to them and no more mind blowing occures, but they're still nice to have around. Then you try going back to the old one day, and realise how much it's making your eyes hurt, and that you're stuck with your new purchase until something better comes along. That's why I'm staying the heck away from them until I can afford both a HDTV and something to play the movies with. I simply cannot afford to have all my old games start to look like shit all of a sudden. =P |

The PS3 is the best upconverting DVD unit I have seen yet .The difference is truly massive .
If we rank the VHS a 0 and the Blu Ray 1080p a 10 I would say the regular DVD would rank a 5 and the upconverted DVD via PS3 or other laptop would rank around a 6.75-7 .It definitely looks good ,not much worse that the 720p movies ....but definitely worse that the Full HD 1080p movies .

I'm guessing you were watching from a Sony xbr4?
As of right now, only Xbr4/5's have that 120hz motion enhancer option. Other TV's from other manufacturers have 120hz but they haven't made a proper software with it yet.
Motion enhancer smooths motion by making extra frames on its own which makes the "soap opera effect".
Of course you could always turn it off for the movie judder full experience again.
You could even turn on 24 frames/per sec for a true movie conversion experience.
Hi-def movies don't give the "soap opera effect" on their own. If that was the case, you'd feel the "soap opera effect" If you watch a movie in a movie theater.

The next title I am going to buy is No Country For Old Men. I will probably buy Across the Universe to go along with it. Both are supposed to be beautiful transfers, and both are some of my favorite films. I am pretty excited!
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
