Most of the criticisms I've heard for these DVDs about the picture/sound quality seem to come from those who haven't seen them yet. I have a very good LD player, and I'm sorry, but these DVDs are shockingly better than the LDs. Maybe the difference would be less obvious if I owned an even better LD player (like an X0 or an X9) but I don't have a spare $4,000 lying around, and even if I did, that still wouldn't solve the issue of side breaks, and other LD flaws/inconveniences, something that these $60 DVDs I just bought did.
